Parking Brake and Auxiliary Board are have been recalled since 2011 and 2013, respectively. Neither the manufacturer, Waev, nor my referred dealer, Energy Products (Warren, Michigan), are responding adequately to multiple requests to resolve these recalls since April 2024. These are safety recalls that need to be enforced. I need for the NHTSA to investigate both the manufacturer and dealer for their wrongdoings in this matter.

The control board has failed. Car will not run. GEM manufacturer and local Las Vegas dealer will not do the recall work. Say it is too old. We are unsure if the parking break is working properly.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
