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.
While in park the vehicle popped into reverse, injuring consumers wife while she tried to jump back in to stop vehicle, consumer was crushed starting at her right ankle, up her leg, knee, thigh, pelvis, abdomen, chest, and over her right shoulder. Child was in vehicle at the time of rollaway.
Vehicle was parked with engine running, emergency brake not applied. It went into reverse on its own, and hit a building. Damage unknown at this time. No injuries.
Consumer put vehicle in park to exit vehicle, suddenly vehicle jumped into reverse, consumer's foot was caught in the E-brake release and was dragged out of the driveway, consumer sustained injuries and damage was done to vehicle, dealer has been notified.
Sometimes, when the car is set in park, it will not turn the engine and start. It will only start if I put the car in neutral and then turn the key. This happens about once out of every 100 to 150 starts, but it's troublesome. I took the car in for it to be fixed, while it was still under warranty. They made some adjustments, but it keeps happening periodically.
Pulled into rear of own business. Put vehicle in park, went inside. When wife returned, vehicle struck a post about 100+ feet away breaking drivers side tail light.
Consumer stated that engine was running and gear was in park, got out of the vehicle and walked around 30 ft. Vehicle proceeded to jump out of park and climbed a hill, consumer ran to stop it in which the door was opened, grabbed the steering wheel and the vehicle drugged consumer and hit a tree causing injuries.
When putting vehicle in park, gear jumped to reverse, causing pedestrian shoulder injury. The consumer had concussion due to blow to head by the vehicle's door when the vehicle went in reverse. The vehicle was damaged too.
Some thing has to be done about this problem, the vehicle almost backed it self into my neibors living room. Not to mention if a person had been in the way they could have been killed of seriously injured. This problem should be corrected as soon as possible, lives and property damage is at stake.
