Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Even in the slightest amount of snow, the vehicle fails to have any traction. This is regardless of the traction control. It appears that the large high torque engine combined with the rear wheel drive and minimal rear weight causes this problem.”
