Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Wiring harness on the vehicle is being completely replaced due to rodent damage according to the dealer. I am not an automotive engineer but if compromised wiring finally fails while driving I suspect a number of systems could be affected. There was no indication of this problem during vehicle operations. My insurance company agreed to pay for this about $7200. I have owned the vehicle for ten months.”
