Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When going around curves more than 35 MPH the car will start decelerating (as if it's braking on its own without me engaging the braking system)and the ESC light illuminates on dash. Also the exhaust makes a popping noise after engine is shut off which cause a powertrain issue because the vehicle is not accerrating properly. I personally know someone that has the same exact vehicle and that customer experiences the same issue.”
