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.
I-€™m having problems with accelerating and jerking. I bought the car about 2 months ago and had to take it back to the dealer for jerking. They changed the tires and it helped with the jerk, but it still vibrates when it turns on. It also very slow when I accelerate. It can be dangerous when I-€™m turning in a intersection or freeway.
Vehicle stalled in traffic at an intersection. Several warning lights displayed at the same time and was unable to steer or safely pull to the side of the road. Car would not start until key was removed and restarted. Was very fortunate that traffic was minimal and an accident was avoided. I'm certain this is secondary to the fuel pump recall that apparently, for some reason does not have a fix.
The vehicle has an intermittent acceleration issue. You will have to press the gas pedal all the way to the floor sometimes just to get it to 40 mph. Also at high speed, the vehicle will shake on the highway. Sometimes when this occurs the steering wheel becomes stiffer.
Power steering started working intermittently while driving, not at all at low speeds requiring much stronger input from driver. Took car to dealer who replaced gear assembly, electric and shaft assembly, steering. Car has 55K miles therefore not under warranty. The dealer pointed to corrosion likely caused by my driving slowly through salt water (my road floods in spring tides). But people drive in salty conditions in the snow belt everyday. I feel anything that causes the steering of a car to cease normal operation like this is potentially dangerous.
Purchased end of Nov 2018. Two months later, steering kept going out sporadically. Have taken it in multiple times starting in 3/19, again in April, again in may when they replaced the steering gear. Steering continued to go out randomly. Took it in again in October 2019 - steering going out. Replaced active gear shutter, only to have the light come back on 3 miles away.took car back again 21 days later and they still can't find the problem. On May 10th, went out multiple times on a windy canyon. Today, May 12, they refused to even look at the car. We have no choice but to take legal action. We have all documentation. Any assistance you can provide would be helpful. We are now being told it is out of warranty, but the problem was never fixed.
