Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rpms increase while gas is being pushed after clutch has already been pushed to change gears. Sounds as though the car is trying to increase speed with the clutch pushed in although it is not. Air conditioner will occasionally trigger itself on if the car hits a bump or the car jerks while in motion. Does not work when not jolted.”
