Example complaints

“My vehicle was sitting outside my home for a couple weeks. I then decided to take the vehicle for a drive only to see several features in the car malfunction and not working. After taking it to the dealership I had learned the trunk of my car filled up with lots of water due to the drainage holes being blocked withh debris.

NHTSA complaint #11222142, filed 2019-06, 50,028 miles“About 4 oz of water started pouring out of each air vent when I accelerated. This caused a short in the centre button console.

I walked away from the car and it began to roll backwards where it hit my basketball pole and caused quite a bit of damage to the car. I think there is a design flaw with the keyless entry on this vehicle. With keyed entry vehicles you can not turn off the engine while it is in drive and must be placed in park to turn off the vehicle. …”
