Example complaints

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

“After being away for a couple days the car has been completely unresponsive. I can not access the car and doors will not open. The car had to be towed and seems to be an issue with electrical powertrain such as 12V battery that is dying for some reason. This should not be the case as car was driven before hand and should have recharged the 12V battery. This is very concerning as this can leave you trapped and have to access to the car while traveling. Please investigate as I've seen many issues with this car.”

NHTSA complaint #11664905, filed 2025-06

“The car software seemed to be experiencing a few glitches, and we arrived home and put it in park. Then front passenger door would not open from the inside, nor would the rear passenger doors, with kids in the backseat. Despite locking and unlocking, the doors would not open. I climbed out the driver window, and went around to open the doors, and despite the external door handle being up/open, the doors would not pull open, it was hard because there was slight wiggle in it like something was blocking it, but it would not open. The driver door would open and everyone climbed out. …”
