Example complaints

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

“My transmission began leaking badly and had to be replaced only days after I bought it. Then my dash's electrical system failed causing it to only come on sometimes and not react to touchscreen, then my start stop sensor failed which caused the vehicle to register that it was not in park and some times putting itself into park until registering.”

“As I am driving the battery light comes on and the car starts to stall and I am prompted to put the car in park as the d is blinking as is the battery light. I have to turn my car off then back on and it takes a minute to turn on then it goes. My battery is at its halfway mark per the vehicle info on the car. Then when I turn corners my car beeps and the speedometer word appears above the speed.”

“Electrical issues. The stop/start and stability control go out while driving. Seems to be random. This happens while driving. Dealership says nothing is wrong. I've captured dates and times this has happened and it's frequent - several times a week. One time I lost power steering and speedometer. Dealership said 24 codes went off. Couldn't t find problem. Rebooted computer and said that it was fine. It isn't fine.”

“For the third time, the vehicle has lost power at highway speed. It starts coasting and the motor runs but depressing the gas pedal has no effect. The last time it happened, we were on a curving mountain road and almost got run over by an 18 wheeler. Third time this has happened and the dealer has not been able to fix. This has to stop, brand new car stalling at highway speeds. Each time we were at highway speeds. Multiple lights come on the dashboard, see attached photo.”

“Twice I have driven my car and when slowing down the battery light comes on and the car shuts off. I put the car in park and turn the key to the off position and then turn back on and the car runs again.”
