Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2012: “Check engine light has been on for 2 years. I've repaired just about everything possible that comes up on the code reader and nothing keeps the engine light off. I've gone to the dealer for repairs and they cannot every guarantee their work will fix the problem. Another mechanic has repaired air flow sensors, etc. And he keeps telling me it's a computer update that's needed to fix the light - not the problem with my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11309022, filed 2020-02, 80,000 miles2008: “While driving the car I noticed that every time I hit a bump or dip in the road, it feels like I am going to lose control of the vehicle. The car is extremely hard to control when hitting a bump on the street or highway and it's scary. I also noticed that the car jerks violently when changing gears in the automatic transmission. I bought the car in may of this year, its under 100k miles. I contacted the dealership and I'm waiting on a response.”
