What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Throttle body has ongoing issues with needing to be cleaned frequently. Car has rough idle, sputters and jumps without warning. This happens when the car is in motion as well as when stationary. The car suddenly loses power when it does this which could cause a fatal accident. Car has never been damaged.
This car has been driven with care for 7 years. It has never been in an accident nor has it had other significant failures. In the past few months both springs on the rear of the car have broken and the car has dropped significantly.
This car in the last year has had both rear coil springs brake in half while just driving normally down the road it has thrown off the drivability of the car and of course you don't notice it until after the event. I believe there is a problem with the tempering of the steel coils.
Driving home from work on i93 when I head a loud bang. Pulled off the highway and could not find anything wrong. Got home with no other issues. In the morning I noticed the car leaning to the right. Went out and looked under the car and found my coil spring had snapped. No sign of impact.
