Example complaints

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

“After a very short trip with the car, it would not re-start. The engine cranked but would not start. 2 hours later I was unable to unlock the doors. The keyless remote does nothing, the push buttons on the driver and passenger doors do nothing and the manual key does not unlock the doors either. This is very serious as a passenger locked inside the car would not be able to exit the vehicle. As it is right now I cannot even move the vehicle since I cannot opent the doors or the trunk”

NHTSA complaint #10725172, filed 2015-06, 67,810 miles

“Interior dash is melting and very sticky. On any given day the reflection of the sun will bounce off the dash, onto the windshield, effectively making it very difficult to drive the vehicle safely. Have almost been involved in several accidents due to not being able to see obstructions in front of me. It is specially hard to see on very hot/sunny days when the dash gets really glossy from melting, making it even worse to drive and very scary on the highway. I'm afraid for my family's safety, especially on the highway.”
