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 CARS AUTO IDLE OFF FUNCTION THAT SAVES FUEL BY TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AT STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS IN INOPERATIVE. I HAVE HAD IT INTO MULTIPLE DEALERS 4 TIMES SINCE 12/2020 WITH THE COMPLAINT. IN MY OPINION THERE IS A TEMPERATURE SENSOR THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO GO INTO THE FUEL SAVING MODE. I AM TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO MAKE THIS FUNCTION WORK PROPERLY. WASN'T THE CAR CERTIFIED FOR EMISSIONS AND FUEL ECONOMY WITH THIS FUNCTION IN PLACE?
