Example complaints

“I purchased my truck with 5 miles on the speedometer in Anchorage AK 4/7/2024. In May 2024, the engine idled rough and transmission shifted hard, I was told me it was normal, and I would have to wait 2 yrs to make a transmission appointment. In June 2024 approaching a green light, approximately 35 mph, the brakes locked, I had no control over the steering and it left a 5 foot skid mark. I had a painful neck and headaches. The shop said they couldn’t make it do it again. …”

“While driving a two lane road the adaptive cruise control detects oncoming traffic and improperly slows down or breaks unnecessarily. Most of the time the vehicle breaks so hard it will jolts me forward in my seat. I fear another car will be behind me and this will cause an accident. I have had my vehicle in the shop two (2) times to repair the issue. The dealership/service department has been able to replicate the issue by having one of their technicians drive the vehicle. …”

“I was driving with my cruise control set at 77 mph in the fast lane of a four-lane highway. There was no one in front of me for more than 3/4 of a mile. A car in the lane to my right apparently triggered the automatic breaking system to the point it slammed on my brakes, pushed me into the steering wheel, and slowed me all the way to 38 mph in the fast lane of the freeway. The result of this unrequested breaking caused four cars behind me to almost rear end me and pile up. …”
