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.

Exterior lighting

Both my rear break lights are showing stress cracks from movement of the frame of the body. There are other references to this happening online from other owners and it's a manufacturer defect. I brought to the dealer and was told that they should be replaced for $3000 each as they are allowing water to intrude and will cause a shorting out of the brake lights. No brake lights would be a major hazard. The cracks in both lights were not due to impacts. It is a design issue.

I am writing to express my significant frustration regarding the handling of NHTSA Recall 25V896. I dropped off my vehicle several weeks ago following the recall notice, only to be informed later that the software remedy is not expected until Q2 2026. It is unacceptable to request that customers surrender their vehicles for a recall when the manufacturer is not yet prepared to provide the necessary service or solution.

MY 2020 PORSCHE 911 WAS TWO DAYS OLD WHEN I GET A "IGNITION LOCK ERROR-SERVICE REQUIRED". THE NEXT DAY THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. AFTER THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM, I DROVE HOME AND PARK THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS CAR HAS MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT'S COMPUTER WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE BECAUSE LOTS OF ITS FUNCTIONS ARE COMPUTER CONTROLLED. I ALSO JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NO.19V-878.

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.
