Example complaints

“The interior side door panel the material comes lose. I had to replace the driver side about 1 year ago and currently in the middle of replacing the passenger side. From researching this seems common with the EOS. I would think this would be a qualifier for a recall. The car I have only has 67,000 miles, stored in a garage and very limited time with the top down. If being left outside for any time the top is always put up to protect the interior.”

The cab stopped short to let off passengers immediately after green light. I was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision. I was going less than 25 MPH at the time of the collision. My airbags did not deploy but a fire started in the engine and immediately engulfed the car.”
