Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I awoke one saturday morning after it had been raining all night to find my spoiler up (which is only supposed to go up at 75 MPH), my car windows down and my rear lights on. When I attempted to move the vehicle and shut the windows, nothing worked. The car ran okay, as far as I could tell, but the alarm started to go off while driving and I ended up having to disable the battery just to stop all of the malfunctions that were happening. There were multiple fault codes on in the on board computer, the convertible top would not go down and many of the internal buttons/switches did not work. …”
