Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After taking two short 90 degree turns at a parking floor (4th floor), the vehicle was half way in the parking slot when it suddenly picked up speed and crashed into wire cables and a concrete post. This type of speed had happened twice in the past within three months of purchasing the car as a new vehicle (brought in jan 2010). After the 2nd such incident the vehicle was taken to the dealer. They could not duplicate the issue. The vehicle had been taken in the past for GPS check as well. Subsequently the vehicle was asked to be brought in for a recall service and that was completed as well. …”
