Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My vehicle was in the garage and the drive train failed. No other details were provided to me by the manufacturer. There have been at least four other reports, in which vehicles were on the road when this occurred and the vehicles shutdown with little to no time to find a safe spot to pull over. This seems to be an issue with either the main EV battery or the 12V accessory battery.”

I was coming down the ramp of a parking garage and making the 180 degree turn common in parking garages. …”

I was able to pull off the main road to the entrance of a housing development and coasted to a stop about 20 feet off the main road. There was no power to turn on the flashers to warning other drivers existing the main road. …”

“We have a long, approximately 70 yards, driveway. When backing up and reaching 5 mph the car brakes violently, causing me to make a three-point turn around so I go out facing forward Every software update, and I’ve; lost count in February alone, breaks our profiles and causes me to have to redo our profiles Often, 2 to 3 times per week, while driving in town (not on the highway using “Dream Drive/ Cruise Control”) the car will start to brake, warning me to pay attention and keep my hands on the wheel, all the while I have both hands on the wheel and I am driving the vehicle When starting…”
