Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“A few months after purchasing this vehicle (new) in fall of 2017 I noticed that the drivers seat was uncomfortably warm. I took it back to the dealer I purchased the car from and the service dept. Could find nothing wrong with the seat heater. I then took the car to another dealer, that service dept. Took an extensive check and again I was told all was working fine and they fixed nothing. However, after that second service the seat was comfortable and I had no complaint until about a month ago when the seat again became uncomfortably warm (with the heater on off). …”

NHTSA complaint #11362678, filed 2020-10, 2,500 miles

“Passenger airbag weight sensor (light next to radio goes on/off) intermittently not sensing adult passenger in passenger seat. Airbag may not work properly in case of accident and could cause severe injury or death of passenger. Indicator light inconsistently goes on and off. This is an active known recall issue. The VIN for my vehicle is not included in the recall.”
