Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2019: “The cruise control does not work going down a hill. It works on a level road. It works going up a hill. I set it at say 50 MPH on us route 30, boswell, pa going down a hill and without applying the brakes the vehicle would be going 60 MPH at the bottom of the hill. This is dangerous. Dealer told me not to use the cruise control going down a hill!”
NHTSA complaint #11221458, filed 2019-06, 1,900 miles2016: “I purchased a 2016 QX80 last week. After filling my car with fuel, within 10 minutes, my gas gauge went from full, to down 3/4 of a tank of gas. After only 50 miles of driving, with no air conditioning on, I'm at 1/2 of a tank according to my fuel gauge. There is absolutely no way that can be correct.”
NHTSA complaint #11372593, filed 2020-11, 32,524 miles2017: “The vehicle was stationary and parked in my driveway with the windshield facing toward the street. Passing traffic evidently kicked up a rock chip and caused the windshield to crack all the way down the middle. In my experience, it is not typical for a windshield to crack from the top of the glass all the way to the bottom of the glass due to a rock strike while the vehicle was stationary relative to the projectile.”
