Example complaints

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

“I proceeded from a stop sign and once I made it to my destination which was less than a 1/4 mile the car started sputtering once I pulled in the yard. The check engine light came on, so I left to go back to my house and it started acting fine. I could smell full in the cabin. I was coming home one night and it did the same thing except the engine light didn't come on. This is the second Q50 that has done this. The dealership had to come get the first one because it wouldn't crank.”
