Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Power steering started working intermittently while driving, not at all at low speeds requiring much stronger input from driver. Took car to dealer who replaced gear assembly, electric and shaft assembly, steering. Car has 55k miles therefore not under warranty. The dealer pointed to corrosion likely caused by my driving slowly through salt water (my road floods in spring tides). But people drive in salty conditions in the snow belt everyday. I feel anything that causes the steering of a car to cease normal operation like this is potentially dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #11377940, filed 2020-12, 55,000 miles“The vehicle has an intermittent acceleration issue. You will have to press the gas pedal all the way to the floor sometimes just to get it to 40 MPH. Also at high speed, the vehicle will shake on the highway. Sometimes when this occurs the steering wheel becomes stiffer.”

NHTSA complaint #11206887, filed 2019-05, 3,000 miles“Purchased end of nov 2018. Two months later, steering kept going out sporadically. Have taken it in multiple times starting in 3/19, again in april, again in may when they replaced the steering gear. Steering continued to go out randomly. Took it in again in october 2019 - steering going out. Replaced active gear shutter, only to have the light come back on 3 miles away.took car back again 21 days later and they still can't find the problem. On may 10th, went out multiple times on a windy canyon. Today, may 12, they refused to even look at the car. We have no choice but to take legal action. …”
NHTSA complaint #11324286, filed 2020-05, 14,817 miles“I’m having problems with accelerating and jerking. I bought the car about 2 months ago and had to take it back to the dealer for jerking. They changed the tires and it helped with the jerk, but it still vibrates when it turns on. It also very slow when I accelerate. It can be dangerous when I’m turning in a intersection or freeway.”
