Example complaints

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

“The ignition was not turning over properly. The battery light was on. The brake light came on. The traction control system came on. The (ABS) light came on. The check engine light came on. The oil pressure light came on. I drove my car from fresno to yosemite and right in front of the park garage it broke down and I managed to roll it off the road and into a stall. I requested professional advice. The professional said it appeared to him to be a faulty altenator, a failed electrical system, and a battery problem, as well as a problem with the ignition switch. …”

NHTSA complaint #10724596, filed 2015-06, 120,000 miles

“Check engine light came on immediately after driving off the lot. Severe electrical/computer issues. The hybrid battery was not functioning properly. The hybrid battery was replaced but we have continued to have electrical/computer problems. The radio quit working and had to be replaced. The ignition switch/core had to be replaced. This we paid for out of pocket even though GM knew about similar ignition issues with Saturn vue's and other cars. We are still experiencing problems with the ignition. The car completely shuts down while driving. The key will fall out of the ignition while driving. …”
