“This has been an ongoing issue. Car won't start at times. The most recent incident I was getting gas at wawa then got back in and car wouldn't turn over and dash board lights stated flickering and a buzzing sound was coming from under the dashboard. Then on a side street it took 3 attempts to start. I took to mechanic who changed the starter 2 different times in 2 days. And now it won't start again. Also my oil is either burning or leaking out. I have had that addressed by a mechanic as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #11279247, filed 2019-11, 93,000 miles“When the car was six months old there was a odor of gasoline. It took the car into the dealer and they inspected the car and told me that a mouse and eaten through my fuel line and that it was not covered under warranty and it would cost $980. I told them that I refuse to except their assumption and that they would have to prove to me that a mouse ate through the fuel line. They showed me the fuel line and there was only a couple small scars on it where it was leaking. …”
NHTSA complaint #11012226, filed 2017-08, 20,000 miles“Intermittently while in economy mode, when accelerating from a stop or while moving and increasing speed the engine hesitates anywhere from one to five seconds before any increase in speed or engine rpms. This is very dangerous and has caused me to almost be t-boned numerous times. There are many complaints about this on various sites on the internet. My dealer says this is normal because of the type of transmission. Other dealers say the same thing. This is going to get someone killed soon.”
NHTSA complaint #10726328, filed 2015-06, 300 miles“When I was sitting in a drive thru a man came up to me and told me that gasoline was pouring out from under my car. I drove the car home and by the time I got home the fuel smell was overwhelming and I had lost the 1/2 tank of gas that I had. Had the car towed to the dealership and was told that rodents had eaten through my soy based fuel lines. When I asked why there wasn't a recall for this, I was told that it was not a safety hazard. I totally disagree! If someone had thrown a cigarette out at the drive thru or as I drove home, I would have gone up in flames.”
NHTSA complaint #10985769, filed 2017-05, 25,773 miles“As I was trying to accelerate, the vehicle stopped responding. This has happened about 7 times now since I bought the vehicle new in oct. 2014. It happens as I give the vehicle gas to accelerate - it seems to just stop accelerating - it lasts about 2 seconds, and then seems to recover. There is the sensation that the vehicle has shutdown/shutoff, but does not actually stall. Vehicle was taken back to the dealer who said they found nothing wrong. It typically happens between 50-65 MPH, but has happened 1x under 15mph (was in a parking lot at that time). …”
