Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“This car has been a headache since it went out of warranty (ironically). First it was the car wouldn't start due to an electrical problem between the alarm system and key fob. The starter was the next to go. Most recently the fuel pump went literally while I was driving the car. Fortunate I was able to make my way off the road and avoided collusion and possible physical injury. There were no warnings that there were any issues with the car, no dashboard warnings, no usual performance. The car was fine one second and completely dead the next. …”

“When starting the vehicle with foot on the clutch, it lurched forward hitting a parking barrier. Dealer denied mechanical causes. From the time I bought the car, it has accelerated on it's own, going to the max in rpms, at random times. I can take my foot off the gas and it will drive itself. When I try to come to a stop, it will accelerate and I have to counter by hitting the brake. When taken to the dealer, they couldn't replicate it. When I argued with the man, he said he would honor the warranty when they could replicate it, though the warranty is now expired. …”

“Excessive smell of raw fuel from drivers rear tire area, entering into the passenger cabin area. Dealership general manager verified gas smell and fumes with a senior tech. Next regular tech cannot duplicate problem or symptom.”

NHTSA complaint #10347594, filed 2010-08, 4,400 miles

“Stability control warning light would come on, car wouldn't shift out of 2nd. Made 3 or 4 trips to the dealer for that to get fixed. Next, with foot on brake, car in park and fob in car, the car would not start. When you hit the start button, it would just go to accessory mode. Two trips to dealer for that one. Waiting on a tow now for 2nd time in two months with the latest issue - while driving, car just dies and won't restart. The first time, was told it was a 'loose connection to fuel pump.' very scary! Thank god I wasn't on the freeway either time this happened!”
