Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“During startup. When car is first ignition, while in neutral proceed to 1st gear an audible sound will be heard from right column and disappears. It will happen every start up sequence. I sent my car for service and they told me that it could be the electronic differential lock.”

NHTSA complaint #11388257, filed 2021-01, 300 miles

If this had happened on any mild turn this would have resulted in a crash. The steering wheel locked up entirely at 50mph. I was able to slowly get the car to the side of the road utilizing the 1cm of freeplay in the steering wheel. Steering would not return until I restarted the car. No lights appeared on the dash before, during, or after the incident. Component that failed was 56320-K9000 Power Pack Assembly. …”

There is a concern for the operator's safety and others operating around a stalling vehicle especially at higher velocity/speeds and when traffic is heavy. The dealership has recommended an engine replacement, not sure if the dealer has been able to reproduce the problem. Currently, the vehicle has only been inspected by a dealership. …”
