Example complaints

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

“Tpms light intermittently started blinking. I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed it as the back left sensor. I was initially told that the recommendation was to not change it until I replaced tires and then I was told it was not covered under my warranty. I called the warranty company and they said that it was 100% covered.”
