NHTSA complaint #11234688, filed 2019-07, 50,000 miles“Exactly 2,000 miles after my 60,000 mile warranty expired, my car experienced a failure of the air bag control module which also impacted steering, yaw/stability and other vehicle safety features. The warning lights came on while I was starting the vehicle but I encountered no issues when driving it 25 minutes to a dealership to have it checked out (fortunately). It took from 2 pm april 4 to 4 pm april 6 to get the necessary repairs done (the part had to be special ordered). …”
NHTSA complaint #10971762, filed 2017-04, 62,285 miles“When making a right or left turn from a stop into traffic and the SUV hits a small patch of snow, pothole or bump in the street, the stability control will curtail the vehicle acceleration for a few seconds. This has caused a near miss rearend collision into my vehicle on three occasions. There is a button to shut the acceleration control feature off but it must be pushed each time you start the vehicle. My opinion is that the stability control sensor is far too sensitive and / or the computer software needs to be revised.”
NHTSA complaint #10956079, filed 2017-02, 200 miles“Error message flashed on dash display bsd cancelled . Then the display returned to normal for about 2 seconds, then the entire display returned to bsd cancelled . This repeated until the ignition was shut off. At the same time the ABS light and stability control lights came on. I left the car overnight. When the car started the next day all of the lights had extinguished. Trying to get diagnosed at dealership at this time. Car was in motion at the time about 1 mile from my home, traveling about 25 MPH so I continued home and parked the vehicle. No accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11103721, filed 2018-06, 77,800 miles“Driving and power steering went out, dash panel lights went haywire. I could barely turn the steering wheel to get the car off of the road. I am not at all sure my wife could have turned the wheel. Attempted to jump-start the car - not work. First time driving at 35 MPH in a subdivision in al. Pulled over, would not start, towed to dealer who recharged battery and entire electrical system checked ' said it was 'fixed'. Tried to jump-start the car and this did not work. Few weeks later exact same thing happened in ky. I was doing 63 MPH on highway with 50 cubic yard coal trucks coming by. …”
