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.
Cable that attaches spare tire to vehicle continues to break. Dealer has replaced spare tire carrier several times. Seat belt doesn't retract properly.
Front passenger's and the rear driver /passenger seatbelts tightened while wearing the seatbelts so hard where the occupants needed to take off the seatbelts, which won't protect the occupants in event of a crash.
Brakes: Brakes fade easily and will pull to the left. Brakes also shake and shudder the whole vehicle and surge grabbing and ungrabbing when coming to a stop. The steering wheel vibrates and brake pedal pulsates. Brakes began problem with very few miles never loaded or pulling. Results in unsafe braking. Seat belt: Drivers seatbelt hangs down and gets caught in bottom of door. You shut your door, fasten the belt not knowing it is stuck in door. In sudden stops, the belt pulls free with much slack remaining possibly allowing your body to go through windshield. Belt twists very easily, and bottom pivot/anchor turns easily allowing belt to hang down in door. Must fiddle with it each time exiting the vehicle and must double check it is not stuck in door. Transmission: Automatic transmission did not disengage in cold weather causing vehicle to stall at intersection nearly causing accident several times. Transmission also shifts in and out of gear while going into overdrive erratically. It will go in and out of overdrive several time withing a second or two causing the vehicle and passengers to jerk back and forth suddenly and unexpectedly.
The driver's cabin seat location is off center which causes the steering wheel to be off center, and misapplication of the brake and gas pedal. Also the driver's seatbelt is too far back. Dealer is aware of the problem, but no solution.
