Example complaints

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

“Break light warnings all came on. Brakes went out while in motion on a city street. Had to shove break pedal down with both feet to the floor going uphill to stop. Dealership told us it's the break actuator pump and will be $5000 to repair. This is a serious hardship on us. I'm a foster parent and need my vehicle in working order. Dealership said only they can do the repair due to sensor calibrations.”
