Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The first time this happened I was driving at approx. 45 MPH on secondary road when all lights dimmed and the vehicle power went down to almost nothing. The power steering and brakes went out and I had to pull off of the highway. I turned the ignition off and waited a few minutes, then re-started which seemed to have re-set things. It ran ok to my destination. But since then (a year or so) it bogs down when starting out from idle such as a traffic light, and the lights dim. …”
