Example complaints

“Ten minutes after locking the Pilot with the drivers door power lock, we heard two booms and found the car with fire coming out from under the hood and had engulfed the dashboard. The car was engulfed in flames by the time the fire company could use foam on the car. We had not driven the car for 7 hours prior.”
NHTSA complaint #10626108, filed 2014-08, 22,000 miles“Doors continue to lock automatically when the keys are inside the vehicle. If you open a door and set your purse inside, and shut that door to open another...ie putting child in car seat, or loading equipment in back. Car locks automatically. Children or pets could be endangered by this. People could be left in dark parking lot without phone, or in dangerous situation because of this. It is a problem that needs to be fixed.”
