Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

I FIRST NOTICED THIS RECENTLY. WHEN I MAKE A HARD LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, MY STEERING WHEEL IS OFF-CENTER. IT DOES CORRECT ITSELF IN A SHORT TIME, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING SAFETY. I'M NOT SURE WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. I THINK SINCE THE LAST SERVICE. I BRING MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE AND ANY RECALLS. I MAKE ALL RECOMMENDED REPAIRS. *TR

BLUE HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE BANNED. THESE LIGHTS ARE BLINDING. ONE ARTICLE MENTIONED ROAD RAGE AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. THESE HIGH DOLLAR VEHICLES ARE BLINDING US FOLKS WITH THE ORDINARY CARS. BEING BLINDED BY THE ONCOMING DRIVER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE VERY SAFE. *NM

I LEASE A LEXUS 400H AND HAVE JUST YESTERDAY BEEN INFORMED THAT IT IS A DRIVE BY WIRE VEHICLE WITH NO MECHANICAL LINKAGE BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT TIRES. I AM A HAM RADIO OPERATOR AND UPON TRANSMISSION THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. NO AMOUNT OF FILTERING OR OTHER MEASURES HAVE ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS AND WOOULD NEVER HAVE LEASED IT IF I HAD KNOW THAT IT WAS A DRIVE BY WIRE VEHICLE. NOTE THAT THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF RF SOURCES SUCH AS BROADCAST STATIONS, TV STATIONS, MICROWAVE LINKS AND AIRCRAFT RADARS THAT WOULD AFFECT THE STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE. MOREOVER, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THIS HYBRID MEETS THE FCC EMI STANDARDS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

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.
