Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was travelling on a freeway ~70mph in left hand lane. Without warning the instrument cluster went black and the engine stopped. The vehicle started to decelerate and there was no response from the throttle pedal. An orange box appeared on the left hand side of the speedometer saying 'transmission not in park'. I signaled intention to pull onto left hand shoulder but there was no sound or flashing from the indicator arrow light in the instrument cluster. I braked and the vehicle came to a stop. I put the gear selector into 'park' and depressed engine start button. …”
