Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I took the car to the service 3 times in 4 months. There are many problems with the car. The first problem was that the left rear shock was leaking which made a squeaking noise when driving. There was also an odor problem with the car that was coming from the ventilations. These two problems were fixed. I took the car another time. There was another problem with the eco start/stop function and a problem with the car trunk only closing halfway. The eco start/stop function was fixed but they said that they didn't detect a problem with the trunk. …”
