Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The electrical system seems to have an off-and-on defect. It repeatedly registers the parking brake as being on when the brake is, and has been, in the off position. The dash board lights, including speedometer, radio, heat/air, and all other dashboard lighting components go out without warning, as does the interior passenger compartment light operated by opening or closing the doors.”
