Example complaints

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

“Left and right turn signals cease to work randomly while driving the vehicle. Turning the vehicle off and on makes the signals work again, but they cease to work after awhile. The dealer told me a false code causes this to happen. The dealer cleared the code, but the issue persists. This is very dangerous situation during driving. This happened multiple times in the past few months.”
