Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The power steering stopped functioning suddenly while driving and I was unable to make a turn except by substantial manual force. Fortunately I was not on a highway and at 20/25 MPH able to pull immediately off the road. The dealer repaired it and said that it was a computer system issue and that they were aware of it but had not notified customers. And apparently they haven't done so yet or notified the ntsb because nothing shows on this website. The occurred over 6 months ago so I am shocked that it hasn't been dealt with.”
