“I was riding on the highway with my daughter in passenger seat when suddenly my engine light started blinking and the RPM's shot up to about 7,000 and continued if accelerator was press.

NHTSA complaint #11161773, filed 2018-12, 16,667 miles“I was going about 55 MPH when the electronic throttle control light came on. It was flashing with made it impossible to reach speeds over 40 MPH. I was a danger on the highway because I was unable to maintain speed as well as the vehicle hesitating. It took me 1hour and a half to travel 35 miles. The next day started it and the light went out, I have been afraid to drive it. No one seems to have an easy answer.”

Another incident where I was crossing the thruway and the car stalled in the middle of the intersection with cars coming, close to getting hit by multiple cars, other incidents where the car kills while under the red light, have to restart it.”
NHTSA complaint #10462068, filed 2012-06, 45,406 miles“Very major problem. On a cold start, if the car was off for at least 6 hours, it cranks and cranks and cranks for about 8 seconds before starting, when it does start, it revs all the way to 2500 rpms by itself and slowly goes down. If I try to put it in drive before it stops revving, the rpms go up and down by themselves and my etc light starts flashing and I am unable to control the rpms. I then have to turn off the car and start it again to stop the car spasms. 50% when I start it and let it stop revving before shifting to drive, it goes down to 1000 rpms and I'm good to go. …”
