“Check engine light comes on, vehicle has no power, can't accelerate. Shows codes p0340 p0365 u1428. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle! I was on the freeway and the accelerator pedal is totally unresponsive. Holding it to the floor kept the speed steady until I was able to pull off the side of the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11245668, filed 2019-08, 26,000 miles“There were 2 separate incidents that occurred. The first one we were backing out of our driveway and the car just stopped running. We were unable to start it again after a dozen attempts. We had the vehicle towed to a local shop and when they got in the car, it started right up. We drove it around for a few weeks before the 2nd incident happened. We were driving on the freeway this time and the car just stopped running. We were in the fast lane and it was extremely dangerous to get off the side of the road due to heavy traffic. It again would not start and we had to have it towed home. …”
NHTSA complaint #11643948, filed 2025-02“Just recently purchased this used vehicle in August and the car has shut off a few times while driving. This is a safety issue. The check engine light does not come on at all.”
