Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I'm trying to find the agency responsible for regulating car entertainment interfaces. The note 9 with android auto has two defects one where the navigation bar does not respond to touch input. And the second is that touch controls for the GPS navigation screen. The phone has been like this for two months and several other people have reported this issue on the support forums, neither google nor samsung has fixed the issue or given a timeline on when we can expect the issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11160619, filed 2018-12, 75,000 miles“Vehicle is burning oil, oil came out through where the dip-stick is placed. Found oil on the exhaust tips. Mass air flow sensor is malfunctioning. Requires new coils and spark plugs even though I have already replaced them. Required a new battery, however, replacing the battery did not keep the vehicle from turning off by itself. O2 sensor, bank 1 sensor 2, is also malfunctioning.”
NHTSA complaint #11385687, filed 2020-12, 115,525 miles“While waiting in a parking with car and AC turned on, the cabin began to smell very hard like gas this happened approximately 10 minutes after parked and waiting. Did it again while waiting in another parking with car and AC turned on after 10 minutes. Only happens when stationary, parked with AC on. Not while driving or frequent fast stops.”
