Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I was driving on the freeway (driving 45 mi/hr), it stopped moving accelerating (seems like the car is actually slowing down) even when I was stepping on the gas pedal. And then the car stalled.......it was a good thing I was on the very right side of the lane. The fuel pump module and/or the powertrain control module (PCM) software may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will need to reprogram/replace the PCM/TCM and/or replace the fuel pump module to correct this concern. …”
