Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I just bought the car, it was brand new off the lot. The check engine light came on followed by every emergency warning on my dash. After this my power steering failed, I was able to move over to the right lane a bit, but that’s it. I tried turning the car off at this point and turning it back on, but it would not turn back on. I could not even put on my emergency 4 way blinkers. The car would not even detect the key at this point. Thankfully we were on a small, low traffic road and not the freeway or a major accident would have been inevitable.”
NHTSA complaint #11503054, filed 2023-01“Power steering failed DURING vehicle operation while car was moving at speed. Steering wheel became excessively difficult to turn, severely limiting control of the vehicle and rendering the vehicle undriveable. Vehicle displayed DTC codes C168886 and C241396. These codes appear to be indicative of a failure of one or all of the power steering system wiring, motor, and electronic control unit.”
