Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The defect: THE VEHICLE OPERATOR IS ABLE TO SILENCE THE AUDIBLE ALARM WHICH WARNS OF "TRACE" AND "MODERATE" LEVELS OF METHANE DETECTION.
The risk: THE MOTION REQUIRED FOR THE BUS DRIVER TO SILENCE THEALARM AS INSTALLED REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO DIVERT HIS ATTENTION AND FIELD OFVISION AWAY FROM THE HIGHWAY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE EXISTING SYSTEM AND REPLACE IT WITH A MUCH IMPROVED AMGADS II (SECOND GENERATION) METHANE DETECTION SYSTEM.

PURCHASED 2007 SATURN AURA IN JULY OF 2008. IMMEDIATELY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL. THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS INCLUDED; THE CAR NOT STARTING UP TWICE IN THE DEAD OF WINTER RESULTING IN IT BEING TOWED ONCE AND JUMPED ONCE, THE BRAKES SQUEAK UNBELIEVABLY LOUD AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN APPLYING MORE PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE MOTOR IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BLEW OUT, THE ALARM REMOTE WILL LOCK THE DOORS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT, WHEN PUT IN THE PARKING GEAR THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD WHEN MY FOOT WAS RELEASED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL RESULTING IN THE CAR BEING TOWED, WHEN PUT IN PARK ON A SLIGHT DECLINE THE CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE BUT ONLY ROLLED FORWARD. THIS RESULTED IN THE CAR BEING TOWED AGAIN. EACH TIME THE CAR WAS TOWED I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL AND HAD TO PAY FOR THE GAS WHICH WAS AN EXTRA EXPENSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH. THE POWER OUTLET FOR CELL PHONE CHARGERS DID NOT WORK SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR WAS TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START UP, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE STALLING." THIS WAS THE RESULT EACH TIME. HOWEVER, A SHIFTER CABLE WAS REPLACED, BUT DID NOT HELP AS THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE CAR NOT GOING INTO REVERSE. ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT REVERSE OR PARK, THEY SAID "COULD NOT DUPLICATE." *TR
