Example complaints

One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

2008: “My dash panel and door handles are melting in the sun. The dash panel is especially problematic as it is extruding a shiny clear tar like substance that causes a significant glare visibility problem while driving into the sun, causing me to nearly miss another vehicle turning in front of me at an intersection.”

NHTSA complaint #11191971, filed 2019-03, 205,000 miles

2011: “When I'm driving, especially when turning a corner, my car suddenly decelerates for several seconds even when I'm pressing the excelerator. If I needed power in a crunch situation, I would be out of luck. This mainly happens during in-town driving. I've experienced this many times but this is my 1st report.”

NHTSA complaint #10983916, filed 2017-05, 48,000 miles

2007: “I was driving the car and all the lights on my dash illuminated ' check ABS, check vsc, check brake system, not to drive vehicle due to system failure, contact dealer immediately. I was told it was the actuator. I just reached 100,000 miles.”

NHTSA complaint #11090024, filed 2018-04, 100,000 miles
