Example complaints

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

“Firewall leaks a lot of water into both driver and passenger side floor areas. The water leaking in causes those interior areas to become soaking wet and dangerous (fuse box located where water is leaking), especially when it rains (even wet due in the morning can cause water to leak into the front cabin area). Vehicle stationary and either in a parking lot or side street. I will take pictures/video the next time it occurs and upload them as described below.”

When trying to fill tank with gas, hose kept clicking off and would not allow me to put gas in the tank. I went to a different gas station and the same thing happened. I have since been unable to use the car as I can not fill the tank. 2)this second problem has been ongoing since I purchased this car. The service engine soon light keeps coming on a regular basis. I have had this checked out each time and the mechanics always have a hard time identifying the problem. …”

The rear hatch could not be opened by the button on the inside of the vehicle. The brakes failed while attempting to come to a stop. When the vehicle was on and in park the gear selector could not be moved into drive unless the vehicle was shut off then turned back on. …”
