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.

Powertrain (other)
Filed Sep 6, 2026

Hesitation and jerking when holding a steady throttle causing popping to come from the exhaust. May cause me to crash due to inconsistent power and control. I reported it to the dealer. They didn't inspect it and only called the tech line. They reported back to me that its a normal operation.
