Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine temp drops 4 marks from regular operating temp. Come into town temp drops and heater blows cold air. Took to dealership they say everything is fine. It all checks out. Sent videos to them of what it is doing. Told to put a divider in but won't help if it cools drastically and blows cold air. Over a year this has been going on. Every time the weather turns cold. It's a safety hazard. A person could freeze to death. Vehicle in motion. City street.”
