Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I try to accelerate from a stop, the car can't decide if it wants to move or not and it will just sit and rev and has almost caused several accidents as I am pulling out into traffic”
NHTSA complaint #11307905, filed 2020-02, 2,000 miles“My Chevrolet Spark cannot decide what gear it wants to be in, causing delays that are dangerous when pulling out in traffic or turning across lines of traffic. For instance, I slow down to get into the center turning lane of a 5-lane street and then when clear, I accelerate to make the turn. The car feels like it makes a short stall as it can't decide if it needs to get into a higher or lower gear. It clearly takes a long time and goes up and down which places me uncomfortably too close to oncoming traffic. Other times when I pull out in traffic, the same scenario repeats. …”
