What owners report most
Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component
Structure
3 reports
“Outside door handle/pads stopped working. Car has 30K miles and 2 door handles stopped working and others are starting to be intermittent. Understanding is the pad and electronic switch gets gunked out and wouldn’t make connection. Only way you can open the door is via inside door latch. Seems like a really bad situation if you get into an accident and can’t open thru door from the outside due to a faulty door handle.”
Tires
2 reports
“michillin pilot sport 4s size 245/40 R 19, all 4 tires became defective, dealer notified was told because of being a vt5 v warranty i bought does not apply to them”
Electrical system
2 reports
“The driver door will not open from the outside. My car only has 38k miles on it. All doors will open other than the driver door. This is a safety feature that needs to be recalled and fixed. The dealership even told me this happens often. I have to climb through my passenger door to get in the driver seat. I am a single woman and do not feel safe unless I’m in a busy parking lot bc I could easily get mugged while not being able to safely enter my vehicle fast enough.”
