Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I placed the van in park and left it running at the top of a driveway walked about 40-60ft and about 3 minutes later it comes rolling down the driveway and hits the corner of house and me. Bounces back 23 feet and stops. Gear shift is still in park and car is running. Air bag inflates and alarm goes off. Turned off engine and removed key.”
NHTSA complaint #10722096, filed 2015-05, 35,700 miles“We were on vacation last week as we were driving at approximately 70mph on I-64 eastbound in virginia we heard a loud popping sound an then loud airflow. We quickly realized our sunroof had exploded. Thankfully we had it closed and the shade was also closed and no one was hurt. Nothing hit our van and we were not involved in a accident the sunroof just suddenly exploded. When we were able to pull over we found the center of our sunroof was completely shattered. We have found other reports online of this happening.”
NHTSA complaint #11111449, filed 2018-07, 100,600 miles“Quite often, the vehicle does not respond to the accelerator when moving slowly, I.e. At an intersection, or when stopped. It happens most often when initiating a turn, from a stop or slow roll. The hesitation is unnerving! It can last a half-second, which is a long time when cars are approaching. It may be the accelerator, the engine, or the transmission. Seems the engine is not being told to increase power in real time. The dealer, of course, will not do anything unless it can be duplicated, which is hard to do in a short test drive with a technician. They want $106.00 for every time I try. …”
NHTSA complaint #11051361, filed 2017-11, 27,000 miles“As vehicle was traveling on interstate, occupants heard a sudden, loud noise from roof of car. No flying debris was noted, no other vehicles nearby, no trees, etc. In vicinity. As soon as was safe, we exited interstate and opened sunroof cover to find that the glass had completely shattered, and there was actually a large section in the very center that was gone. The vehicle had been parked in an enclosed parking garage all weekend (48 hours) in extreme heat. …”
NHTSA complaint #10630399, filed 2014-09, 30,800 miles“I drove the car to the spot to park my car , with the normal way as always, lower the speed so I can get into my spot. All of sudden , I felt like something pushed really hard behind my car and it moved forward really fast , I couldn't expect anything like that happened at the moment and lost control , it hit the parking pole so hard and my front end broken”
