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.
One day the airbag light started cutting on and off and then the horn started blowing randomly without being touched or even without even being in the vehicle with the car turned off. Took it to a mechanic and they have no clue what-??s wrong.
I was driving at about 20-30 mph. My car started making a whining sound then my dashboard lit up with multiple lights starting with the battery and then all of them. Luckily I was able to get to the side of the road before it completely died. I had it towed to a garage. They tried changing the alternator and battery. It still won't turn on. It is now at a dealership and currently can't figure out what is wrong with it.
The car alarm will go off without any contact etc. Video recording shows it would just activate. It's waking up neighbors all throughout the night with no consistent times. The car was parked in front of home every time observed.
The driver's side door lock only works intermittently with the automatic key fob. Even though you can hear the locking mechanism actuate, the horn sounds and there seems to be a slight movement of the lock post, it doesn't physically lock the door. You can still push the outside door button and the door will open. I've found that it usually takes 2 - 3 attempts before it will lock. I've note after an online inquiry that several others have had the same and/or a very similar problem as well, and it was noted in one post that it was found to be a problem with a module in the door mechanism. I feel that this is a safety issue warranting a factory recall and/or repair as it constitutes a vehicle breech that would allow a safety and/or theft avenue. Using the key to physically lock the door each time shouldn't be the expected response, as several others noted in their post that this doesn't always work, and the automatic key fob should be expected to work as it was intended or it's pointless to have even provided one with the vehicle. It should be said that the fault only occurs with the vehicle stationary and that at this point the doors automatically lock as intended shortly after the vehicle is in motion.
The system warnings present light came on, and said check tpm system, which showed how much tire pressure I had. For the front drivers side it said 36, front passenger side,34, rear driver side 32, rear passenger 24. Then the 24 disappeared from the screen, and the warning light kept blinking, which made me think I had a flat tire. I checked the pressure in all the tires, and there was 36 lbs. Of pressure in all 4 tires. Now every time I start the car the warning light stays on, and the pressure screen shows all different amounts. There is also a problem when I take my foot off the gas pedal, the car doesn't slow gradually, it's like it almost stops like I have my foot on the brake.
I walked out to my car and noticed it was leaking red fluid. I took it immediately to my local service center. The heating core was leaking and needed to be replaced. The same thing happened in June 2014. This time the vehicle over heated and I broke down on the side of the road. Vehicle was towed to same service center. The heater core needed to be replaced again for the same problem. Each time it was leaking from the same place. The service center believed I would have this issue again.
