Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The engine lights come on, then the car starts chugging and shuddering and sounds and feels as if it will shut down. I am not able to accelerate. This is a serious safety risk in traffic, especially if driving on the interstate. The car will not move at anything over 20 MPH, if it even accelerates at all. I usually end up coasting to the side of the road and shutting the engine down. I let it sit and turn it back on and it may or may not let me go again.”
