Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The instrument cluster that shows the odometer and fuel gauge randomly doesn't appear when I turn on my car. It usually happens when it is cold outside (less than 55-ish). The screen will turn on sometime after driving 4-10 miles. At first the screen will look garbled, but then it will be fine. It looks like a ton of people are reporting this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11286996, filed 2019-12, 30,000 miles“The dashboard display of my mileage and fuel levels is often blank when I initially start my car, or the display is gibberish (e.g. Numbers and letters where there shouldn't be any). This happens frequently (3-4x/week) and tends to be worse when it's colder outside.”
NHTSA complaint #11388107, filed 2021-01, 72,000 miles“Digital gas gauge includes odometer. Last winter, at about 32 degrees or colder, gauge often either did not work (went blank) or scrambled its info, which was then unreadable. Now, the gauge has begun malfunctioning in july. I fear running out of gas or missing maintenance due to unreliable odometer reading. Both situations could leave me stranded at the side of the road. It doesn't matter whether car is moving or not.”
NHTSA complaint #11337911, filed 2020-07, 111,300 miles“My car began lurching as soon as I pressed the accelerator to leave my driveway. Cars go 50 MPH on my road despite the 35 MPH signs, I was scared I was going to be rear ended and had to yank the car over to the side of the road immediately. I was afraid I was going to be rear ended. What if the wires had been only mostly chewed and they came loose while I was on the parkway??”
NHTSA complaint #11043136, filed 2017-11, 15,682 miles“Fuel gauge and mileage display malfunctioning - flickers on and off with incoherent numbers and symbols. Will go off completely and remain blankly backlit, sometimes comes back on and flickers and off again. It was flickering when I started the car in the morning and while I was driving.”
