Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car was parked and turned off with the key in my hand. I inserted the key and started the car with my foot on the brake. My foot was still on the brake pedal when I put the car in drive. It surged ahead and without any warning I crashed into a cement base to a pole. I had been parked in the driveway of a donation center.”
NHTSA complaint #11089194, filed 2018-04, 89,000 miles“Window motors; shortly after I purchase my vehicle my driver window would be difficult to go up once it went down. Then it got worse and made a loud sound when it went up and one would have to pull it up. Now the driver window does that. Its hard to get it up once its down and makes a loud sound. I find it strange that both windows are now not working.”
