Example complaints

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

“When am driving at 40 MPH my car pulls when I let go of the gas or when I step on the gas. It also pulls at higher or lower speeds. It's not always at 40 MPH. Also when am in driving my forward collision warning turns off just for no reason and on the dash it says it's turned off. Stays turned off for at least 1 min or 2. I have taken the vehicle for inspection but they can't seem to find where the problem presistes from.”

NHTSA complaint #11394360, filed 2021-02

“Random warning messages and lights. Power steering fails, as does the power brakes. Usually, as I'm driving, it begins with airbag warning message. Then, the warning messages increase: Front collision, lane departure, blind spot, brake, power steering. While all of these things are happening I hear my doors lock, and unlock. Finally, I lose my power steering, and power brakes, like what would happen if the car has stalled. However, it is still running. Recently, after losing the power steering and brakes, I stopped and with the car still running, I could not put up my windows.”

NHTSA complaint #11674927, filed 2025-07

“ABS system issues: all warning lights come on - abs, traction control, parking brake (the yellow light as well as the red one. Red comes on an flashes then goes off), hill start, ect... Had codes ran that came back with several ABS related codes as well as engine codes leading back to the ABS system. Came up with right rear tone ring needs replaced. This is likely untrue as the lights come on and off leading me to believe it is more likely an issues with the speed sensor. …”

“Vehicle indicator lights come on, the radio changes channels on own when working, radio error, vehicle changes setting own it own, trunk opens on it on,, emergency brakes will engage on their own. This has happened periodically and it has done it while in motion and parked. Dealership claims radio is bad. Parts will not be in until april 2018. Also trans mission has been jerking- claim can't find anything wrong”
