Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact stated after purchasing the vehicle there was a hole in the roof at the antenna. This causes condensation to leak into the trunk. This in turn causes condensation to go through the electrical system and causes electrical problems. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and was repaired. The cruise control is not working properly. When the cruise control is set or after applying the brakes the cruise control will reset intermittently. This causes sudden acceleration without warning. The vehicle has been to the dealership concerning this problem. …”
