Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“A sensor shut down the motor while I was driving on I-55. It required me to coast to the side of the road. (this happened in the summer of 2006.) last month, the water resevoir in the engine busted (despite dutiful maintenance) requiring a completely new engine to be installed. The radio has also malfunctioned twice, being replaced last time. No one was injured in either case, but it could have easily resulted in deaths when the vehicle quit in 70 mile per hour traffic!”
NHTSA complaint #10206791, filed 2007-10, 87,458 miles“My car has endless problems in every aspect!! Anyone that owns one are having the same issues and nobody can seem to fix it, nor can I get parts to fix it, and the parts you do get to repair the vehicle break faster than the original parts on the car !! My engine has not failed yet but my transmission has and the dealer ship wont fix it and said there is nothing wrong with it !! Iv paid more money fixing the car than I have for the car !! I can't go more than 1000 miles before something else breaks !! …”
