Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While car is in motion, on highway or anywhere at anytime, the check brake warning light comes on display screen, with an beeping alarm, then the brakes drop to floor barely stopping the vehicle with a grudging noise. I went to the dealer, they gave me the option to replace the ABS system but was not sure of the exact problem and tried to sell me a newer car. This company already has lots of recalls and has put many people's lives in danger. This issue is happening to many other vehicles the same as mine and they are not safe for anyone.”
NHTSA complaint #11172968, filed 2019-01, 120,000 miles“My tire light keeps going on when I have the right amount of air in it. I got the sensors checked which the repair man said they where fine and he reset the system twice. The tire warning light went on twice when I was driving it I don't feel safe in this car at all.”
NHTSA complaint #11104568, filed 2018-06“After being jumped once and running properly the car no longer has any kind of power. The rear battery is working fine. My mechanic had also told me that the wheels had a certain type of spring like mechanism that was ready to shoot off the car and that the car needs a very expensive large piece of plastic to regulate airflow if it is going to pass inspection. The vehicle has not been in accidents and nothing out of the ordinary has happened to it to cause these things”
