NHTSA complaint #10051964, filed 2004-02, 15,300 miles“My vehicle started having problems in september of 09, it was stalling on highways. I would lose power out of nowhere. It also would randomly accelerate forward, for lack of a better word the car would just buck back and forth. I received a recall notice (j18) that word for word explained what was going on. Took it to be fixed, problem still persisted. I then brought it to my personal mechanic, they informed me that the recall did not remedy the problem which is the cam shaft position sensor. One year later and I am still dealing with the same problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #10598649, filed 2014-06, 153,874 miles“Car sticks in 2nd gear during driving and frequently stops moving, going into limp mode. While driving the car will not accelerate and the RPM will go from 2 to 4. When decelerating and breaking, it will act erratic often as if it was placed in neutral and jerk. While in a parking lot surrounded by pedestrians the did the same and did not stop as it should have. This problem is unpredictable and can lead to accidents as it may occur at any time (on the freeway and hillsides). Dealerships will tell people the computer is returning a p1776 and p0700 code. I was told to get another transmission. …”
