Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The engine began leaking oil and is continuing to do so. It won't leak while the engine is running, but will once the car is stopped and the engine is turned off. It is quite a large amount of oil. The electronic instrument panel also malfunctions as the odometer hardly ever works and when it does, it flickers. The instrument panel will occasionly go blank giving no information at all and will sometimes resume when the display is tapped.”
