What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The contact crashed into some logs because the brakes failed. The air bags did not deploy. The contact was going 45mph at the time of the crash. The vehicle was towed to a yard. No warning light was illuminated. No police report was filed.
The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.
Intermittent power steering failure while driving. Wife cannot turn it causing near misses during turns. Steering restored IF turn off ignition and restart engine.
Power steering stops working while driving. Very difficult to turn vehicle Intermittent Failures with no pattern. Local dealer replaced auxiliary battery yesterday in attempt to correct problem but did not solve the problem. Bought used 92000 miles.
All of a sudden the van starts running very hard, trying to stall, the stop/start warning comes on, engine light comes on and the van has a lot of trouble accelerating. If the van will stall in the middle of the road it would put me, my kids and other cars around me at risk, especially if we are on a fast highway.
After 2 months of checking the car I was told the motor is corroded. Bought the vehicle 2022 with no reports of any incidents
I was turning left into a parking lot when my 2020 Voyager steering stopped working while it started to show all warning lights and the wipers went on, then it went dead, had to be towed on a flatbed to the dealership, and after 4 weeks with no solution in sight, I decided to bring it home and research the solution…
When child was adjusting the recline in the driver side middle row bucket seat, the seat broke. The seat no longer stays in any recline position, and the seat no longer latches into place at the base and slides forwards and backwards. A system within the seat has failed.
