Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have twin daughters that were 17 yrs. Last yr. I am a single mom. I bought this car off a craigslist ad. When my daughter & I went & looked at it I looked to see if it had ever been wrecked it had no report of that. The person that sold it to me said the convertible didn't go down because he didn't have the key, I had no idea that it had 33 complaints filed on it, and it would be leaking water filling the floor boards 2-3 every time it stormed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11254040, filed 2019-09“Power windows do not operate in sub-freezing temperatures. With no ice or frost on windows they just do not want to move in very cold temperatures, 30 degrees f and below. Notified dealer, their response was to reset the window controller which gets the window working until the next sub freezing temperature event. No attempt was made to determine the cause of the failure. Because the windows need to move to open the door in this car and a trip to the dealer is required to get the windows working again this could be a potential safety concern.”
