Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Going approximately 5-10 MPH on a side street the engine surged when brakes were applied and the brakes did not work. Had to put the truck in park to stop. Suv was immediately towed to dealership. Dealership reports no computer record of incident nor problem with the engine or brakes over a period of a week of testing.”
NHTSA complaint #10475171, filed 2012-09, 101,000 miles“Reduced engine power forced the vehicle to remain under 25 MPH on a busy road where I was unable to pull off due to lack of shoulder. Restart of the vehicle after I came to a place I could stop, yielded the same error and lack of power.”
