“On the filler neck, when I put the fuel nozzle in to fill up my van the filler neck is loose. I have owned many vehicles and have never run into this problem. On the power train ,when climbing a hill it slows down and I go to give it gas and it boggs down, like sputters. It makes like a cluncking in the back of the van. Also the hood has come up on me 3 times. This last time I took it to the dealer they did not check it out. I was going down the road and the latch popped loose and made the hood come up. I was going about 45 miles an hour.”
NHTSA complaint #11383697, filed 2020-12, 47,050 miles“Car was stationary. Decided to go into another lane so while turning into other lane, depressed gas pedal firmly and it stuck to the floor revving up the engine to where ii immediately slammed the brakes on but still hit the car in front of me. This happened before while entering the freeway from an onramp where I unstuck the pedal by wedging my foot under the side of the pedal and pulling out. I thought it was a one time thing and dismissed it. The freeway was pretty empty. This new circumstance was completely different as I was at a stop in traffic and this happening is extremely dangerous. …”
