Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Door locks lock and unlock on their own. Standing outside or looking out of home window I can see and hear them going up and down. Also, the dome light flickers off and on while this is happening. Car was bought from a used car lot, and did not come with a remote key fob. The check-engine light has been reset twice but comes on and has stayed on while driving for 11 months so far. Cannot open back/hatch door with key, must use the latch inside the car. When turning tight left or right, the whole car shakes underneath. Otherwise, no problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10808935, filed 2015-12, 190,000 miles“I almost rear ended this car this morning. The brake lights are too high on the vehicle, and there are no brake or turn lights just above the bumper. With the sun visor down, and being able to see only the lower half of the car, the brake lights are not in view. Design flaw!”
