Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On 6/29/09, I was parked in a stripmall . When I started the car, I shifted to d4,and,before I put my foot on the gas pedal, the car accelerated to 3000 to 4000 RPM and moved forward. I braked the car and put it in neutral. The acceleration continued until I put it back into d4. That stopped the acceleration. This had happened about a year ago, but I was stopping the car when it accelerated to 3000 RPM and lurched forward. Again I put in neutral, then d4 which stopped the acceleration. I took the car both times to the dealership. They could not determine the cause even after extensive testing. …”
