Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While traveling ~ 45 MPH and slowing approaching a curve and stop sign, engine shutdown completely losing power assist for steering and brakes plus engine power. Steered car without power assist and applied un-powered assisted brakes to stop short of stop sign. Car restarted without difficulty. This was a second occurrence.”
NHTSA complaint #10621350, filed 2014-08, 85,000 miles“Engine stalls, intermittently when taking foot off accelerator. Twice while driving about 45 MPH, several times under 25 MPH while slowing down for a turn or stop sign. Loses power steering and power brakes. Normally car acts fine but about once a month (more frequently now) car will have a bad day and stalls several times in one day, (and then acts fine for a few days/weeks before having another bad day). Car starts right back up after stopping vehicle. Very much a safety issue!!! Took car to dealer about 4 times before they were able to duplicate it. No service codes. …”
NHTSA complaint #10459853, filed 2012-05, 28,000 miles“Brakes did not work while I was trying to slow down. After got an accident I checked my car in tow yield they said there is a problem with a front tire and they also said it is 99% manufacturer fault. The brake should not be broken with any damage however it broken already. I drove only a year. I don't know what to do.”
NHTSA complaint #10449284, filed 2012-02“Nhtsa campaign # 18v-026 says the Azera ABS electronics can collect water and short out causing a fire while the car is in a garage or not being used. But failure of the electronics because of water leaking into the system also affects the operation of the ABS where it cannot work when needed. The recall addresses rewiring the ABS so no power is present in the water leaking ABS module when the vehicle is not operating and parked but does not address failure of the ABS without fire from water leakage when the vehicle is driven. …”
