Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Check engine keeps coming on & off.. When making a left hand turn and/or engaging the left hand turn signal; this causes the horn to sound. After taking the vehicle in numerous times costing $130.00 to run the test I am told they are not able to find anything wrong. This is very troubling as I have a toddler and this is certainly a safety concern not to mention a budget breaker as this has cost me approximately $1000.00. I finally decided to stop taking it in as the only outcome was a little less money in my money and the failures still occurring. …”
