Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I feel stronly that I should not have to pay for a repair service (taillight sensor problem) that should have been fixed permanently while the vehicle was under warranty. The srs warning light problem is not only a mechanical issue, but also a safety hazard to the driver, leaving the airbag inoperable. I do not believe that a consumer should have to pay out $1200 to service the srs warning light every time the owner disconnects and reconnects the battery.”
