Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I accelerated to get up to highway speed and the gas pedal stuck going 65mph. I put both feet on the brake at full pressure and the car kept accelerating. I put into neutral and braked, then pull the e-brake and pulled over to the shoulder of the highway. Very dangerous, scary malfunction - the mechanic says the accelerator throttle and cable are broken. A search of the internet shows other people have had this happen in different years and models of pt cruisers.”
NHTSA complaint #11292440, filed 2020-01, 80,000 miles“I am frequently experiencing the following problem which includes the check engine light coming on, the car not wanted to accelerate, feeling like the car is going to stall while driving down the road. One time it did stall in traffic however, it started right back up. The check engine light does go out. I have taken it to several car places and no one has been able to diagnose the problem. This is a serious problem as I am afraid to drive the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10598878, filed 2014-06, 75,000 miles“Iwas driving and entering the expressway from an on ramp when my check engine light came on after I heard a ding sound. I tried to excellerate and could not go over 20 miles an hour with out the car sputtering as if it was not getting gas. I drove to the nearest off ramp and preceded to a dealership where I had an oil change done on the same car a month prior. I had bought the car used from carmax just 4 months ago and it only had 44,000.the tech said it was probably something minor. When he called to tell me what was wrong it was not minor. The cam and crank position sensors had gone out. …”

NHTSA complaint #10342788, filed 2010-07, 40,000 miles“A few weeks ago my check oil gas light came on, and so my husband checked my oil(my car only has 22000 miles on it) and when he checked it there wasn't any oil in the car, it was very low. It barley read on the dip stick. After changing my oil, my check oil came on again after 500 miles. Again there wasn't much oil. I took it into the dealership, they said they would mark my oil pan and plug and look at my car every 1000 miles to document on how much oil I am using. They didn't do anything else. I haven't really gotten anywhere with this oil situation. …”
