Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Upon keyless ignition, engine continues to race even though gas pedal is not depressed. When applying brakes, engine continues to accelerate, and gas pedal seems to stick even after foot is removed from gas pedal and placed on brake pedal. This happens intermittently without any warning, and speed doesn't seem to come into play. I am afraid to drive this car with this condition. It has happened when I have other people in the car, and now they refuse to drive with me for fear that I am not going to be able to stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10424196, filed 2011-09, 35 miles“Engine consumes one (1) quart of oil approximately every 4,000 miles. Vehicle was purchased new. If you follow the oil life minder (per the owner's manual) and change the oil when the indicator lights up (typically around 7,000 miles) the engine oil is well below the normal dipstick operating range.”
