Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The issue started with the battery terminals growing a lot of corrosion. Had to be cleaned off and sprayed with cleaner and lubricant every couple of months. Then as I turn the key in the ignition, the car will sputter before starting. When the car is on, the steering wheel is stiff and immovable for the first minute or so. I can't turn the wheel. It loosens up as you drive. It will randomly get a bit stiff when driving on the highway. Typical speeds of 45mph or faster.”
NHTSA complaint #11254500, filed 2019-09, 68,000 miles“I have difficulty when locking/unlocking my vehicle with my remote key fob and main look system from all doors of the vehicle. When the lock/unlock button is pushed on the vehicle's two front doors the driver's side door does not lock with the other doors on the vehicle. The driver side door is the only door that malfunctions all other doors operate efficiently. This locking malfunction occurs when the vehicle is parked. The driver's door can be locked manually by pushing the lock inwards or using the car key to manually lock/unlock the door. …”
NHTSA complaint #11163169, filed 2018-12, 70,000 miles“The complaint is with the radio. The car was in motion on the street when it all of a sudden restarted itself. I thought nothing of it only because it has happened before except everything went back to normal and worked properly. But now after that has happened it doesn't stop doing that. It didnt even fully restart itself. It just keeps restarting to where I can't use the radio, navigation or anything not even the aux cord or usb port to play any music of some sort. I have tried parking and let it do its thing and nothing it still continues to restart.”
