Example complaints

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

I believe these defects pose significant safety risks, not only for me as the driver but also for others on the road. Below is a detailed account of the problems: Spontaneous Locking and Unlocking: The vehicle intermittently locks and unlocks itself without any input from me. …”

NHTSA complaint #11649452, filed 2025-03

I had to take my hands off the wheel, dry them, and then grab the wheel over and over until I found a dry enough spot for it to detect my hands. …”
