Example complaints

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

“The horn started losing volume but would regain it back once the weather warmed up. I have to park overnight outdoors for work and when it snows and gets between 20-25 degrees outside, the horn starts being symptomatic. Now it doesn't work at all and it affects my alert and safety system because I have no way of warning other drivers or pedestrians around me. The other fault I have noticed is that the applecar play or the display itself loses its connection between apple carplay and the display. …”

“The ignition failed me as a customer. Vehicle was stolen outside my residence. No keys were left in vehicle. This is very dangerous and high risk especially due to rise in crime rates of car jacking. My vehicle has been recovered and in the dealership collision center since March 30, 2023. My vehicle has never been in any accidents, with the exception of this thief. …”

“My horn and car alarm would work and stop working for about two months now it does'nt work at all. I feel this is a safety issue because I can not blow my car horn to warn other drivers when they are cutting me off.”

NHTSA complaint #11505522, filed 2023-02

“I have had my horn fail 4 or 5 times since owning the car. It first failed when I got the car and somehow the horn wires has came loose. The second time it failed it completely failed and was replaced under warranty. The horn that was replaced the under warranty failed over the winter in like November of 2021. I had it looked at and they said that it worked when they tested it in a warm environment. Left the dealership and was told that if it failed to just call them and they would order a replacement for it under warranty. …”

“The backup camera stays on even in neutral and drive mode. In reverse the guide lines are present, however they are not present when in drive or neutral but the camera remains on. This is a safety hazard because it is very distracting to drive forward with live video on the 8 screen. I believe this is also illegal in my state when my teen is driving the car as state law does not permit drivers age 16-18 to use any hands-free devices when driving. I'm sure this includes live video being displayed even if it is the backup camera. Dealership reproduced the problem. …”
