Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car developed an electronic communication issue that would cause random failure messages for the ABS, anti-skid system, transmission control and a brake failure message that would put the car into limp mode even at highway speeds. If you come to a complete stop, it would not allow you to pull away at any speed which makes you a traffic hazard and at risk for a rear end collision. I took the car to the dealer and they said it was the steering module so I had them replace it which ended up not resolving the problem. …”
