What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I have already had to replace the battery for not starting and a power failure in the middle of a busy intersection where cars we going 40 miles per hour. I took it to the dealer 3 times for this battery failure. They told me the car purchase was almost a year old and batteries were not covered.
When the contact pressed the engine start button, a click sound was heard, but the vehicle did not start. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact waited a few minutes and the vehicle started normally.
Ignition switch program. Car wont start. Have to turn the key multiple times to start the engine
