Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was traveling on I-35 in heavy stop & go traffic, in an area under heavy construction where no shoulder was accessible, when the 18-wheeler in front applied their brakes consistent with the flow of traffic. I applied the brakes, but nothing happened causing me to roll forward and hit the back of the 18-wheeler. After impact, I placed the vehicle in park, & it was not until I pressed park that I believe the brakes became re-engaged. Once out of heavy traffic & safe to do so, I exited the highway, pulled over & restarted the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11770313, filed 2026-10“My concern is regarding the auto start-stop feature.

I brought it to the dealer twice for this issue. The first time a master technician got in the car with me, he drove it and he was able to reproduce the sound continuously, at least 10 times. …”
