“This car takes forever to warm up in winter. I don't let it sit and idle, I drive slowly for a while. It takes me 20 minutes to get to work and just starting to warm up then. Is this because it has two thermostats and an oil cooler? Its an annoyance. I even leave heater off till temp gauge has 6 bars and that only minimally solves the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10672899, filed 2015-01, 2,500 miles“To my understanding, my car has been overheating and the first time it overheated it was because I had no coolant. Then, the same night, I bought some coolant and had it checked out at the nearest auto zone. Couple of days later though, the car had shut off again. Luckily, each time was on the street so I can flash my emergency signal. However, I am very concerned with this recent news update and ensure my safety.”
NHTSA complaint #11004963, filed 2017-07, 66,650 miles“I was driving in stop and go traffic and as I stopped at a red light in the left turn lane, the engine cut off completely and would not start. I had to ask a group of people to help push my car to the side of the road during rush hour traffic. I waited about 30 minutes and the car was able to start again. I was nervous to drive on the expressway to get home as this could pose as a serious threat to safety.”
