Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

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.

PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO WITH THE WIPERS TURNING ON BY THEMSELVES IN THE OFF POSITION FOLLOWED BY THE TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE BARE AND WEATHER WAS AT 11 DEGREES CELSIUS. THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOT REPAIRED AS THE DIAGNOSTICS FAILED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS AGO, UPON TURNING ON THE IGNITION THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON BY THEMSELVES IN THE OFF POSITION AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED FOUR TIMES AND THE PROBLEM WAS ALSO NOT CORRECTED AS THE MECHANICS COULD NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM WITH DIAGNOSTICS. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM PRESENTED ITSELF AGAIN. ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS DID WITNESS THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AS HE COULD NOT SHUT OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AS WELL UNTIL AFTER HE WAS FIDDLING AROUND WITH THE SWITCH. ONLY THEN WOULD THEY SHUT OFF. IN THE PAST, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THIS CAR AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DETECT WHERE THE OIL WAS GOING, I NOW BELIEVE IT MUST HAVE TRAVELED INTO THE ENGINE/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS. (NOTE: THERE WAS NO OIL DRIPPING ON THE GROUND). *JB

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
