“While driving my vehicle, the RPM goes to 4 or 5 while only attempting to do speed liming, it stalls and jerks as if someone is pulling on the vehicle as I try to accelerate. On the expressway, my vehicle struggles to hit 40mph - 60mph without it feeling forced and RPM at 5. It stalls to reverse sometimes and stalls to take off.”

NHTSA complaint #11288261, filed 2019-12, 100,000 miles“I was stopped at the top of the hill on a private road. When I took my foot off the brake and pressed the accelerator, nothing happened. The car began to roll backwards and I pressed down on the brake. The brake was very weak and it took 50-60 feet and all of my pressure on the brake pedal to bring the car to a stop. After I stopped, I realized that the engine had turned off and the ignition was int he off position. I rotated the key in the ignition back to the start position to start the engine. I continued back up the hill normally after the engine was started. …”
