Example complaints
Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “During a torrential downpour my car began leaking while parked on the street. The leaking subsided once the rain stopped. The headliner and my heated seats both got wet due to this issue. When I contacted the dealer in regard to this issue I was informed that this was a known issue and I would need to file a claim through my insurance or pay out of pocket. To my knowledge the windshield has never been replaced and this is the first time I have experienced this issue as I previously kept my car in a garage.”
NHTSA complaint #11372763, filed 2020-11, 59,600 milesOther or unknown: “I have owned this vehicle less than one year, and the tires on this vehicle are all cracking on the outside walls of them. I realize that these tires may have wear to them; however, this to me is considered a safety issue especially if they're to be of any type of quality from the manufacturer. I am concerned regarding the quality of tire, and how these tires are now all cracking around the sidewalls of them.”
NHTSA complaint #11328341, filed 2020-06, 41,023 milesElectrical system: “I was stopped at a light with my car in drive and foot on the brake when the dashboard started alerting me that I was in the wrong gear. I looked down at the shift nob and the d was flashing on and off as well as in the dashboard. I put it in park and back to drive and the light turned green and I pressed the gas. Instead of going forward the cars went backwards while in the drive gear. I almost hit the car behind me and almost got hit with all of the cars coming full force since the light was green. I was in the drive gear and couldn't go foward the car kept going backwards. …”
