Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Was driving through town with no problem. Road turns into highway and speed limit is 65 MPH. Tried to increase speed from 35 MPH (town speed limit) and vehicle started slowing down and bucking and hesitating. Pulled off road and turned engine off for a few minutes. Could not increase speed to more than 25 MPH. Towed home. Left alone for an hour and retried. Still have same problem. Tried this morning, still same problem. Will need to tow it to a garage. Check engine light also came on.”
NHTSA complaint #10781305, filed 2015-10, 113,000 miles“The commander turns off on its own, brakes on its own, the alarm does its own thing, the esp/bas lights are on, buttons on dash don’t work most of the time, sunroof drain is faulty, and leaks rivers of water into my car! Also had my brakes to seize up on me and I couldn’t move from a danged stop sign. I just want a vehicle I can rely on.”
