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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

WHENEVER YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE IS A NOISE THAT COME FROM IT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A CLUNKING NOISE AS SOMETIMES WILL NOT LET YOU TURN PAST THAT POINT. IT WILL DO IT WHEN IT IS STATIONARY OR DRIVING. IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK. *TR

VEHICLE MOVING ON HARD SURFACE. STEERING TURNED TO LIMIT AND ABRUPTLY, WHEEL IS "WHIPPED" BACK AWAY FROM LIMIT. THE ACTION IS SO SEVERE, IT WHIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS AND I TRACKED TO THE OPPOSING LANE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I WAS LINING UP IN A PARKING SLOT. GM SERVICE BULLETIN: #PIT5405A RECOMMENDS FIXES. GM NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE ON THIS OR SOMEONE COULD BECOME INJURED OR WORSE.
