Example complaints

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

“While vehicle is in foward driving motion on street or highway(20 - 70mph)out of no where, truck will have a quick second halt in its motion, as if someone pulled and released the emergency brake(see attach recording) all I feel is a sudden jerk which its intensity depends on traveling speed. It startles me every time! During this time, the speed gauge drop then resumes regular speed, check engine light appear but immediately turns off as does the words park assist off also displays then immediately goes away. These sporadic episode are becoming more frequent and could cause tragic accident. …”
