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.
Vehicle is burning oil, oil came out through where the dip-stick is placed. Found oil on the exhaust tips. Mass air flow sensor is malfunctioning. Requires new coils and spark plugs even though I have already replaced them. Required a new battery, however, replacing the battery did not keep the vehicle from turning off by itself. O2 sensor, bank 1 sensor 2, is also malfunctioning.
I'm trying to find the Agency responsible for regulating car entertainment interfaces. The note 9 with android auto has two defects one where the navigation bar does not respond to touch input. And the second is that touch controls for the gps navigation screen. The phone has been like this for two months and several other people have reported this issue on the support forums, neither google nor samsung has fixed the issue or given a timeline on when we can expect the issue. This is incredibly distracting to the driver when using the interface, exactly the opposite of what android auto is supposed to accomplish.
Mpg reported on the dash is exaggerated. Vehicle shows 27.3mpg for the following trip, that is between the last and current fuel fill up. Real world calculated mpg is $19.55, which is significantly off, of what is being reported by the vehicle.
While waiting in a parking with car and ac turned on, the cabin began to smell very hard like gas this happened approximately 10 minutes after parked and waiting. Did it again while waiting in another parking with car and ac turned on after 10 minutes. Only happens when stationary, parked with ac on. Not while driving or frequent fast stops.
Purchased the vehicle new with less than ten miles on odometer. From new, the vehicle produced a strong odor of burning or melting plastic every time it was driven. Clutch began slipping and then catastrophically failed at 5100 miles. Towed to dealership, clutch replaced. At 7,200 miles, clutch throw-out bearing failed, dealer replaced. At 11,709 miles, throw out bearing failed again, dealer discovered clutch was on the verge of second failure during service. A second replacement clutch has been ordered. Advised by service manager that cause of all failures was that a "plug" of some sort had worked loose, causing clutch to remain engaged at all times, leading to clutch failure. If clutch failure occurred at intersection or rail crossing, this manufacturing defect could lead to the severe injury or even the death of occupants in the disabled vehicle, as this failure renders the vehicle immobile.
