Example complaints

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

“At any given time, while driving slow or stopped, I will push on the gas pedal and a 1 0r 2 second lapse will occur before my car moves forward. This has almost caused me to hit my another car!!!!!!”

NHTSA complaint #11342673, filed 2020-08, 45,000 miles

“In little over a year, a check engine alert occurred that was the result of a problematic gas cap, depressurizing the gas tank. The first occurrence was under warranty, but the second occurrence cost $130 to replace the gas cap. Replacing a gascap twice in 14 months would seem to be a design or manufacturing flaw and should not cost $130.”

NHTSA complaint #11083654, filed 2018-04, 36,845 miles

“While driving with the cruise control on I applied the brakes and the car started speeding up. This has issue has done this 2 times. It took me several time by hitting the cruise switch to get it to stop accelerating. I feel problem is going to cause some to get injured or possibly killed.”

NHTSA complaint #10929420, filed 2016-12

“While in slow motion as trying to move over from an entrance lane to a traffic lane the car will stall (bogs down) when accelerating the gas. This happens also when trying to turn from almost a stop to accelerating. This happens on all type streets and highways. I have asked the dealership about this and they just say that this is normal. I bought the vehicle in late 2015 when 2016 vehicles had already came out and this problem has always existed and happens every day that it is driven. This problem is dangerous and have argued this with dealership to no avail.”

NHTSA complaint #11302204, filed 2020-01
