Example complaints

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

“-display screen completely black, buttons would work, radio would work, heated seats would work, AC would work but absolutely nothing on the screen. I did not bring the vehicle in because I thought 'that was weird' and it would just go away. Upon starting the car the next time, everything was normal. -severe condensation inside vehicle windows. Condensation was so severe that water was actually dripping from my windshield onto the dashboard and dripping from the sunroof onto my seat. …”

“Car abruptly stalls while driving. Has occurred 3 times. Dramatically increasing a chance of collision. Navigation always gets me lost. Navigation and other screen goes black and restarts while driving. Audio/radio comes on while driving on it's own when I want music off. Touch screen applications like changing radio station, switching screens do not always work. Auto door unlock with the keys do not always work, have to wait many times for the function to work. Most important is the abrupt stalling that jerks my body forward its terrifying!”

NHTSA complaint #11366795, filed 2020-10, 2,000 miles

“Jan 25,2021 Highway 35 San Antonio Texas Display board lights turned off for a few seconds it made a click sound and the car turned off and turned back on for a few seconds, stalling the car. The automatic break was activated and deactivated at the same time. Trying to stop the car. This is the third time since octubre 2021 that this happens. My safety and the safety of the other drives was at risk, I can’t drive this car anymore because it may cause an accident. Approximate a month ago the car stoped in the middle of Stone Oak street in San Antonio Texas. …”

NHTSA complaint #11448996, filed 2022-01

“The vehicle's engine light turned on. The engine light remains on, and frequently the Malfunction and System fault See Owners Manual will display. When the malfunction message appears all the traction lights are also turned on. The RPM's in the vehicle are very accelerated, and it's difficult to drive the vehicle. The vehicle will also produce a very heavy smog smell. I took the vehicle into the retailer several times and nothing was done. The manufacturer is also not taking responsibility and stated the issue is unrelated to the engine bearing recall.”
