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.
When getting my Virginia state inspection this March (2019) at the dealer where this vehicle was purchased new, I was told that I would need four (4) new tires soon !! the tires are pirelli scorpion run flats and the vehicle had only 13,500 miles and these tires are not cheap(!). I think with todays technogly tires should last beyond 14,000 miles. The vehicle and tires has been aligned, balanced and rotated three (3) timers since purchased, becauce I wanted to get the most milage out of them because of the price of the tires. I'm not a nascar driver (in my 70's) and I take care of my vehicles but I think it bears looking into these tires ( too soft compound, etc..)-- I have a file on all maint.pulled on this vehicle with the last results showing failure on the tires.
Brakes started screeching loudly when backing up startling neighbors. After seeing many reports on this same problem, I had the dealership replace the brake pads as goodwill. Screeching returned shortly thereafter and I continue to annoy neighbors. Runflat tires threads were worn out after only 10,000 requiring replacement of all 4 tires. Rear door driver's side is unable to be unlocked or opened from the inside. Driver's seat side panel covering seat belt continues to fall off exposing the seat belt drive, even after repair by dealership.
