Example complaints

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

“Pcm, stop safely now & shut-down problem and I have a red triangle illuminated on the cluster accompanied by an audible chime. In addition, the message center will indicate stop safely now and the powertrain control module will command the vehicle to shut down. This is where ever you are and it happens really quickly it is for sure a safety hazard.... I don't understand why this has not been recalled, since so many have reported the same problems throughout the years.”
