Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While on the highway, I noticed that the car was not picking up appropriate speed when accelerating. There was no prior notice or engine lights or any abnormalities with the vehicle prior to this. I decided to pull off the highway at a rest area and as the car was slowed down around 15-20 MPH, I lost total power of the vehicle and was unable to steer or use the brakes. Luckily the car was able to coast to a stop without injury but was extremely frightening with my family in the vehicle. …”
