Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “My transmission failed in the middle of a four lane highway with my children in the car. It could have LED to a catastrophe. I have since learned of many more failures of this transmission from other customers at the dealership, cryptic remarks from service reps, and from rental car companies in the area. I would like to remain confidential.”
NHTSA complaint #765885, filed 2002-08Vehicle speed control: “I was driving on i75, the accelerator got stuck and car started racing. I put the car in neutral and stopped the car with a lot of effort on the brakes, by which time the engine RPM is 4000. After I turned off, I pulled the throttle out with hands and it seems to working fine for a bit. But when I started car and drove again the same thing happened right away. I parked the car and will be taking it to the shop very soon.”
