Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1)was recently able to shut off and remove the key while still in drive. Did this inadvertently when I forgot to put the vehicle in park. Fortunately vehicle did not roll away as I was in the garage at home. 2) failure always happens when I try shutting the vehicle off while in drive. The key simply comes out. Key should not come out in drive. 3) am in the process of having the vehicle repaired. Had it diagnosed. After an hour and a half, the dealership said it needs a new shift solenoid ecu, which they must order.”
NHTSA complaint #10358371, filed 2010-09, 127,100 miles“Parked my Avalon in my apartment parking lot for approximately an hour. When I returned the drivers side of the dashboard had melted completely around the fuse box and steering wheel. All of the dash and surrounding area was burned or melted. Also I might mention that I am aware of no changes of the fuses by myself or anyone else, and the car hasn't had any major repairs (outside of fluid changes, tire alignments) since I've owned it.”
NHTSA complaint #10023699, filed 2003-06“1.ignition when I put key in ign. It wouldn't move every thing froze up nothing would move.I couldn't turn the key ,steering wheel , brake pedal or gear shift (is this normal?) 2. Turn signals failed to work . Checked and replaced fuse although the fuse was not burnt out we replaced it any way and turn signal work after that. 3. Battery car failed to start several times even though I have original battery it is still good the problem was that the cable had loosened up causing bad connection. If we hadnt known to check these things we would have purchased a new battery”
