Example complaints

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

“Frontal detection sensors randomly go off usually while sitting stationary at traffic lights or stop signs, when there are no cars around the vicinity of my vehicle. Screen displays false detections and alerts with annoying beeps making you think something is going to collide with you. Dealership says there's an internal TSB on this problem, but they don't know how to fix it.”

NHTSA complaint #11626910, filed 2024-11
