“Shortly after I purchased the vehicle, used from carmax, the lighting on the steering wheel stopped turning on and would randomly come on while driving, usually after about 10-15 minutes and while turning. . It no longer comes on at all and none of the steering wheel buttons work anymore either, nor does my horn.”
NHTSA complaint #11406206, filed 2021-04, 30,000 miles“The fan switch for the HVAC quit working, so I took the climate control module off to see what the problem was and noticed the switch itself was melted and burned, as if there was a fire and/or the voltage is too high. This is a severe fire hazard and should be looked into immediately. I am not the only person having this issue.”

Even though the engine was running and there were no mechanical lights on, the car wouldn't go when I pressed the gas. After turning the car off and on several times, it wouldn't move.
