Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “88,000 miles on my minivan. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) slips repeatedly. Car looses power and will not accelerate for 10-60 seconds frequently. Cvt jerks at takeoff most of the time. I tried crossing a busy highway and I went halfway across then the van stopped moving forward. Luckily there were no other vehicles in the lane it stopped in. It took about 2 minutes before it would move forward again. This is a dangerous vehicle to drive or ride in because you can't trust the transmission to work properly.”

NHTSA complaint #11131856, filed 2018-09, 88,000 miles

Electrical system: “My car key was not starting the car last few weeks and I replaced the battery of the key. That seemed to fix the issue, but on that day the no key message showed again. After a few tries I was able to start the car. After a few mins I started hear a smell and smoke, pulled over and fire started. Some one in the parking lot had an extinguisher and I was able to extinguish the fire the fire started from the floor between driver seat and the door after the fire I can see that the power cable area is where it started”
