Example complaints

“I was driving on the highway, got a flat tire. The second my tire popped. I started getting a few lights on my dashboard abs, forward safety light, limited differential light, blind spot light, rear cross traffic light. Worst of them all is a red steering wheel light which makes the vehicle difficult to steer. This is a new car with under 20k miles and it’s a lease. After the tire was replaced the lights are still on and the car is still non drivable.”

“The car is a ticking time bomb and dangerous to the public. My car has stalled and broke down in the highway several times. Had to wait for 3-6 hours tow trucks in between. The latest one, I reported to the service advisor that my car stalled all of a sudden at a neighborhood. She told me they didn't find any error codes therefore there is nothing wrong with the car. I was also told to keep driving it till it breaks down and only come back to them when that happens. …”
