Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car has stalled when stopped and while driving. Slip light and tsp warning lights go on along with service engine. I noticed the recall from 2003 was for similar problems. However I put in my VIN # and I'm assuming my car does not apply. Very very dangerous. My young daughter was driving when it died. Would like to know if repairs would be covered under previous recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11331804, filed 2020-06, 138,240 miles“Takata recall driver and passenger windows were both down on 11/9/17 around 8am in the morning. Both driver and passenger window were all the way down. I did leave the doors unlocked or windows down when I went to sleep. The car was stationary on a regular street parked over night.”
