Example complaints

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

“I was driving my truck a long distance yesterday and was on the interstate when this incident occurred, approximately 2 hours after killing the engine to get fuel. The check engine light came on, I was driving 70 MPH at the time. Shortly after, a warning came up on my display stating engine power degraded . I was on a mountain pass in the middle of nowhere and noticed the throttle was very slow, I couldnt speed up and that was very scary since I was on the interstate. I had to coast to the nearest dealer in aubun wa which was about 25 min away. …”

“Sometimes the traction control light will come on in the middle of me driving. Then it reduces my Titan to 10mph. It has happened twice while the vehicle was in operation and I was going less than 30mph both times. The traction light will also come on when I drive somewhere and let my car sit idle. Usually when that happens all the light appear. I'll turn it off and all the lights will disappear except for the engine light. The first time this ever happened was when we were sitting idle in a parking lot and at first it wouldn't even go anywhere.”

“Check engine light came on. Had code checked at closest auto parts store, it was an evap code. Light went out, but took it to dealer to be checked. Nothing could be done because light was off. Other sensor lights came on..parking and fuel cap, took back to dealer, gas cap and o ring changed. Dealer said not to worry if lights and sensor warnings came on, that truck was safe to drive, and it was suggested I take pictures each time one came on. A couple days later the engine light and sensor warnings kept coming on. …”

“The vehicle started exhibiting very loose steering behavior and a clunking noise from the front end. The steering wheel has play from 45deg turned to the left to 45deg turned to the right without affecting the direction of travel. The stability control would attempt to keep the vehicle moving in a straight line when turned to the left or right, regardless of speed (<25mph - 70mph) on dry, warm roads. When the stability control attempted to keep the vehicle moving straight through a turn, it was necessary to quickly apply the brakes to keep the vehicle from leaving the road surface. …”
