NHTSA complaint #11021516, filed 2017-09, 22,000 miles“To note vehicle had a complete evaluation 1 week prior with no current or upcoming issues. Upon starting car ABS light, traction light, bsd (blind side detection) light came on. Upon driving, my bsd sensors did not operate, and engine made whistling sound upon acceleration and would not go over 40mph without the power being pulled from the engine. Also to note my car was apparently trying to be in a higher gear at 30mph (5th gear). All of this is very suspicious as the car has only been serviced at dealerships with most recent being 1 week prior. …”

NHTSA complaint #11319410, filed 2020-03, 66,397 miles“While driving down the highway the warning light for the bsd sysiem started blinking on and off. The next morning it stayed on. I took it to the dealer and after two hours the service man came in and told me they couldn't find the problem but they thought it would be behind the rear bumper. They wanted me to pay $150 to remove the rear bumper to check it. He said if it was a problem there I would most likely have to pay for the repair as it was likely my fault. I refused to do so as I felt it should be covered by the waranty. I no longer have a functional blind side detecter. …”
NHTSA complaint #11217034, filed 2019-05, 31,000 miles“I was driving at 6:20 am on the new jersey turnpike. I was in the left lane and going approximately 70 MPH using the scc (smart cruise control). All of the sudden, the lights start flashing and the car completely turns off. Since it was before sunrise, everything was black and I couldn't even see where I was driving, not to mention that the steering wheel became locked. 10 seconds later, the care came back to life . It did that same intro with the system check thing as it does when the car is started from a park position- only I was on the highway going 70 MPH. …”
