Example complaints

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

“Started about 1 1/2 weeks ago (approx 2900 miles on the odometer), first time wasnt expecting it and hoped it was just a fluke, 2nd time it happened early my daughters were with me and asked what was wrong with the car when it happened, and then again the other morning at the end of my 45 min ride into work. Each time it happened was when I was merging from an on ramp into traffic. …”

NHTSA complaint #10837333, filed 2016-02, 2,900 miles

“Car hesitates when accelerating causing a danger when car does not go as expected when pulling into traffic. It also jerks and shudders at lower speeds, the car shakes somewhat violently and will stop if you floor the gas pedal. Bought the car brand new from dealer and have brought in for the issue to be told the computer doesn't see a problem. I drive the car daily I know there is an issue and it is dangerous to drive when it chooses not to go when accelerating.”

NHTSA complaint #11119814, filed 2018-08, 2,000 miles

“Two dangerous issues. First is when I am waiting to pull into traffic and have to give it a fast start. The car totally fails as I do this. I move about 5 feet and the car does nothing, leaving me hanging out with traffic approaching. Eventually, after pushing the gas pedal, it responds. The second issue happened recently. The car would not drive more than 30 MPH. I was driving down a typical rural road and the car just gave up, allowing me to go 30 MPH at the most. Eventually cooperated after I stopped. Both problems are very dangerous.”

NHTSA complaint #11219162, filed 2019-06, 30,000 miles

“My car that had less than 60,000 miles on it has had to have the antilock brake system replaced, the transmission replaced, the leather seats have tears on both sides of the rear seat, the windshield has over a dozen chips in it and most recently, when driving, my gas gauge went to empty although I had just filled it up less than 16 hours earlier and had not done any driving. I pulled over on the side of the highway, turned my car off and back on and the gauge reset itself. My car is now out of warranty and I'm waiting for the next major thing to happen.”

NHTSA complaint #11089982, filed 2018-04, 58,856 miles

“Two times in the past month I have experienced the same problem while driving on interstate roads. My gas gauge and trip monitor indicated I had about 60 miles until empty then after driving a few miles it said about 30 miles to empty and shortly after that car started sputtering and losing power and I had to make emergency moves to keep from getting hit. Both times I was able to pull unto the shoulder and drive a short distance to a gas station to fill the tank which took only slightly over 15 gallons and the tank holds 19 gallons. …”
