Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After an synthetic oil change and rear brake job at firestone a few days earlier in atlanta, I was driving along and my check vsc system light came on. I then took it back to firestone and they put it on the computer and there were no codes; subsequently they suggested that I take it to the dealer for diagnosis. The diagnosis at the dealer revealed that I needed a new ABS accumulator and this could be repaired for $3,118. I was not interested in spending this amount since the part has a know design manufacturers defect. …”
NHTSA complaint #10702733, filed 2015-03, 151,247 miles“The contact stated the key fob only worked intermittently to open the driver door. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, who was unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was then taken to a second service dealer, who stated that the key fob was receiving interference from the surrounding environment. The manufacturer was also notified. Updated 12/15/06.”
