Example complaints
Electrical system: “At 0820 AM on Monday, 23 SEP 24 while traveling South on interstate 95/495 in rush hour traffic the vehicle lost complete power and 3-4 messages appeared in the display. I recall one saying the rear differential is inoperable. I turned on the emergency flashers and was fortunate to allow the car to coast to the highway’s left shoulder without causing an accident. I don’t remember the other warnings as I was preoccupied trying to get the car safely off the highway. I was able to restart the vehicle after allowing it to sit for a minute or two. …”
NHTSA complaint #11616107, filed 2024-09Brakes: “I was in bumper-to-bumper traffic traveling West on Interstate 376 in Pittsburgh, PA. The weather was clear and cool, and the pavement where I was driving was dry. I was proceeding through the Fort Pitt tunnel outbound. Given that traffic was stop and go and moving very slowly, I switched my recouperation setting from “normal” to “strong” to enable one-pedal driving using the paddles on the sides of the steering wheel. Immediately after doing so, traffic was inching forward just West of the Fort Pitt tunnel, starting up Greentree Hill. …”
NHTSA complaint #11671437, filed 2025-07Other or unknown: “On 01/12/2024 the driver profile on my vehicle was remotely wiped with no authorization. This profile has settings for multiple automated driver functions including a creep function that I have always left off (On is the default). Once the driver profile was wiped, when I lifted my foot off the accelerator expecting the vehicle to come to a stop it did not. It continued traveling forward without any accelerator input.”
