Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car would shut off at any time/ would shut off when pulling out from a green light, or would shut off when stopping. Was almost hit from behind each time it happened. And the fuel gage stopped going to full. Fuel milage went from 32 mpg to 26 mpg. They took 8 days to repair the car because they did'nt know what was wrong with it. They had to talk to the engineers at mits. To find out how to fix it. They ended up reprograming the car. They said that this has happened to other cars too. But not this bad.”
