Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was slowing down in a left hand turn lane, on a slight uphill grade, and as I approached a stopping point, the car lurched/jerked heavily then stalled. I tried to start the car immediately and was unable to because I was in drive, I then placed it in park, and the vehicle started easily. I then placed the car into drive, released the brake, applied the gas and it stalled again. Placed the car back in park, started it, placed it back in drive, released the brake, applied the gas, and the car stalled. …”
