“My vehicle suddenly slows down as warning lights illuminate at the exact same time. I had no choice but to avoid traffic and try to get the car off the roads as it loses power. I could get the vehicle restarted but couldn't get the speed back up to normal. I went to the dealership and was told that I need a throttle body replacement, for a car with less than 50k miles on it.”

NHTSA complaint #11064073, filed 2018-01, 22,500 miles“For several months since I've had the car. It will from time to time stall out. Now it crank but won't start up. You can be driving or idle and the car shakes and stalls out. Due to this it caused my car to overheat. My car will crank but not move at all. The other issue since I bought the car it ran hot. So hot to the point that it crack the radiator hose. I replaced. The car would run hot if you sat idle while driving for too long.”
NHTSA complaint #11191251, filed 2019-03, 102,965 miles“My car likes to decelerate when my foot is on the gas. Sometimes it will stop while I am driving it on the road I have repeatedly taken it in to the dealership where I purchased my vehicle. They keep saying nothing is wrong. I know for a fact that a car should never stop unless your foot is on the brake. Also my check engine light is always on and the dealership where I purchased my car has turned it off for me and it will just turn back on.”
NHTSA complaint #11289646, filed 2019-12, 45,000 miles“After filling the fuel tank, the engine has a tendency to stumble and stall when idling (such as when the clutch pedal is depressed).
