Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At random times, the car will just shut off while driving l or turning. Absolutely no power for a little bit. This has happened multiple time. I am unsure if this electrical or something to do with the engine. I have called to see if there was a recall she was told there wasn't. I have seen multiple posts online speaking of this same problem from quite a few people”
NHTSA complaint #11194748, filed 2019-04, 89,345 miles“This doesn't happen every time I drive the car. As I'm slowing up to turn, or coming up on a stop sign or red light, the car tends to start stalling. If I put the car in neutral before stepping on the breaks, it doesn't do it. But if I don't put the car in neutral it will stall & the RPM will drop to 0 & the car will cut off.”
NHTSA complaint #11221460, filed 2019-06, 168,000 miles“The automatic transmission has always shifted hard and now the transmission is having a hard time shifting into the next gear, it revs up and I have to take my foot off of the gas in order for it to shift. This seems to only happen in the lower gears. Once I'm above 30 its fine. The code that just came on is low transmission fluid pressure.”
NHTSA complaint #11064398, filed 2018-01, 123,555 miles“I was stopped at a red light and light turned green went to press gas and car completely shut off no warning at all no lights on dashboard I put it in park shut it off and started it right back up with no problem this has happened two times in the last week also no codes coming up on scanner”
NHTSA complaint #11279173, filed 2019-11, 94,445 miles“While driving on the highway, my car cut off completely. I had to try and maneuver to the side of the highway to get out of traffic.
