Example complaints

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

“I experienced three instances of the engine warning lights coming on and the engine losing power and throttle control. The motor continued to run but was restricted to a fast idle of approx. 2000rpm and no throttle. Speed was therefore restricted to 2000 RPM depending on what gear which was about 5-10 MPH.. One event happened at slow speed and two were at highway speed of 55 MPH all happening in a span of about 30 miles. I was fortunate to be on a rural highway with light traffic as there was no warning and no possibility to look for a safe pull off spot. …”
