Example complaints

“Me and my partners safety was put at risk when the vehicle’s high pressure fuel pump went out, shut the car down, and left us stranded in the middle of two lane traffic. What was scarier was how the vehicle couldn’t be manually overridden to shift into neutral to push the vehicle to safety away from oncoming traffic, since the gear is electronic. The vehicle isn’t that old and that high on mileage, being only at 94k miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #11659857, filed 2025-05“The main driver information display went blank while operating the vehicle. Important operating information such vehicle speed, turn signal indicators, fuel remaining etc., was not available to the driver. The center display for the navigation system has also gone blank twice while operating the vehicle since I purchased the vehicle. Additionally, the tailgate will open all the way and a split-second later will drop about 15 inches. Both my wife and have been hit in the back of the head by the tailgate because of this.”
