Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The date & mileage are only for the most recent occurence. It started late april 2001 at about 70,000 miles; I'd bought the car used the previous september & it had driven ok throughout the winter. The problem has been happening off & on ever since. The car will be going 55 MPH or more; about 5 or more minutes after startup (it varies), the RPM gauge/idle suddenly drops to 0, the car might buck slightly,the engine light comes on, & the car stalls. Pressing the gas pedal has no effect; all I can do is coast to a stop. …”
