Example complaints

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

“While driving the vehicle it will sometimes just cut itself off with no warning. I put it in park and restart it with no problems but it just cuts itself off again without any warning what so ever. Luckily for me it has only done it when there has been light or no traffic or when I have been at a stop sign.”
