Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My van stalls when decelerating from highway speed to off ramp yield. I have taken to mechanics and dealer and spent too much money on not getting the problem fixed. I did some researched and noticed on the forums that this is an existing problem that has not resulting in a vehicle recall . The problem looks like it has to do with the tipm fuel relay. My van only has 142,000 miles on it , this is obviously a safety issue and should be handled by the auto maker, not having customers spend needless money on dealer recommended fixes that do not fix the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11252891, filed 2019-09, 142,000 miles“When the vehicle is cold, and after I start driving, if I do no have my foot on the accelerator, the engine will just die. When it does, there are no warning lights go on and the steering becomes completely unresponsive. I must quickly put the car in neutral and start it again. It can happen multiple times before the engine warms up. It can just happen going down the road. I have had it to the dealer and another auto repair place and neither can figure out what is wrong. This happens quit often.”
NHTSA complaint #10637957, filed 2014-09, 87,000 miles“Vehicle while both driving on road and in park stalls. It givens no notice or warning that this is going to happen. At least 10 times I have noticed that the ignition switch has moved from the run position to accessory, by itself. I have taken it to 3 different dealers but each has said they couldn't find an issue no codes have been coming up in the computer. I even had it stall in the dealer when I picked it up yet they have not done anything to fix the problem. When it stalls the steering wheel is extremely hard to move. …”
NHTSA complaint #10503121, filed 2013-03, 24,000 miles“I recently experienced an uncontrolled acceleration of my 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan. I passed a truck that was traveling at about 35 MPH. When I attempted to resume an appropriate speed by releasing the accelerator I realized that the vehicle was continuing to accelerate. I applied the brake to little effect and eventually regained control of the vehicle by shutting the ignition off. When I brought the vehicle to a Dodge dealer I was told that this was common and all it required was routine maintance. …”
NHTSA complaint #10379799, filed 2011-02, 34,000 miles“Vehicle stalled on toll road and bypass. It finally died and I had to have it towed. Fuel pump was replaced twice. First time was $600.00. Second time, mechanic did it for free. Mechanic believes that it's the tipm or totally integrated power module.”
