Example complaints

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

“As I am driving the car on highway or street the car just stalls and turns off. Nrought it to dealer and was told out of warranty and would have to pay $9500 to repair hybrid battery system and new transmission. The usual that the VIN number is not included in recall which is just not right. And of course mileage over 70000. Waiting for a recall so this dangerous problem is fixed”
