Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The transmission was leaking and recalled and that was fixed by GM. The brake lights sometimes over heat and I had to replace the saddles on them. I do not even know they go out but I have people honking at me that I have no lights in the rear. Now with my warranty out and have 86.000 miles on it the fuel pump is out on the vehicle at a 700 dollar cost. The door knob fell off, I have oil pressure issues all of the time. Last november the drive shaft fell off as I was driving down the road and had to pick it up off of the interstate which someone could have gotten hurt. Brake issues. …”
NHTSA complaint #10471146, filed 2012-08, 12,000 miles“When I'm driving at night the lights flicker this includes every light outside beams inside dash everywhere. It happens when it's in motion or not. This is a safety hazard because the flickering is a distraction to other drivers including yourself. When focusing on road all of a sudden they start flickering and it distracts everyone dramatically. I almost wrecked twice because of this and have told my dealer ship trinity automotive and they have yet to fix it.”
