Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car shut down, without any warning, in the middle of the road on april 19th, 2013. At the time of shutdown, all the lights on the dashboard lit up (including the brake light). I took the car in to the dealer on the following monday having been told by an advisor that they could not work on a major issue as such on the weekend. Since they claimed that they could not duplicate or replicate the incident, they did not know why it happened; therefore, they could not fix anything. They also strongly believed that the car is in perfect condition, and it is safe to drive. …”
