Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was parking my car and my foot was firmly on the brake. Just as I was going to shift my car into park, the engine revved and the car surged forward I was unable to stop the car, in spite of braking. The car jumped the curb in the parking lot and ended up stopping on top of a landscaping boulder. This stopped the car from moving forward as the front of the car was on top of the rock, but the engine was still revving as I put the car in park and turned off the ignition. Transmission pan and engine cradle damaged by collision. …”
NHTSA complaint #10747847, filed 2015-08, 21,758 miles“I do not have an auto light function on the vehicle but the lights will randomly come on, even though the switch is turned to off.

I took the vehicle to the dealership since it is under warranty, but because the lights and turn signals were working at that moment they did not do anything because they could not diagnose a problem (despite my specifics about what was occurring and the dangers driving with no turn signals poses). Initially this only happened when I started the car, but now it will happen randomly when I am driving. …”
