This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Intermittently when going down hill or over a pothole, pedal goes to floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and could not duplicate or correct problem.
Vehicle struck another vehicle in the rear at 15 mph due to brake failure, and the air bags did not deploy. Vehicle was declared totaled by the insurance company. Dealer has been contacted.
One week after purchase, all oil was gone from car. Dealer first replaced the oil pressure sending unit, kept leaking, then replaced the valve cover gasket, kept leaking, then replaced the cam seals. Dealer assured me that it was not the head gasket. Still leaking oil. Took it to personal mechanic and it is the head gasket leaking. Dealer has refused to refund purchase price or replace vehicle. This has been over a 2 month period. The vehicle also has very noisy brakes, especially when it has sat for an extended period of time (overnight). The car has a shaking and rattling in the steering column when going over bumps, especially at slow speeds. The dash board reflects on the windshield when it is sunny and the glare makes it very difficult to see at times.
While driving at 35 mph smelled smoke, and then saw the fire within the steering column. Consumer pulled over, and the fire department came out and put out the fire. Also, brakes operate intermittently, and there is a loud noise coming from the brakes. Brakes fail to operate properly especially on wet days. Brakes supposedly repaired under recall, now they are worse than before.
While driving at any speed and applying brakes there is an odd sound and popping noise coming from the brakes. Also, water is getting into the suspension control module, causing vehicle to stall.
While ehicle was parked in front of the house, somehow the vehicle rolled across the street, crossing over three yards, and rolling across driveways. Gear was still in park position. Also, consumer had problems with the brakes, which had to be repaired three to five times.
While making a right turn steering went out, causing the consumer to run off the road. Also, upon applying the brakes brake pedal went straight to the floorboard, causing the consumer to run into some brushes. Consumer vehicle has been in for repairs three times, and there is still a promblem. Dealer can't identify the promblem.
Vehicle hit a bump in the road at 15mph and the driver's and passenger's side airbags deployed. Also the brakes went out, and the steering locked up. Driver has burns on her arm and a sprained wrist.
