Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There are two indicator lights for air pressure that come on and stay on without cause (pressure is normal) TPMS and a symbol. It is a documented problem among owners online in group discussions. In addition, the suspension is faulty in that an unexplainable cracking and slicking noise has been duly documented among owners in the front tires. Several have reported this with an effective warranty but others have the issue post-warranty expiration. This should mandate a recall as it presents a serious safety hazard for the driver and all others on the road. …”
