Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving along on a city street going about 40mph. As I was driving the gas pedal became slack and the car started accelerating rapidly. I had to drive with the break depressed in order to pull off the road. While the car was in park, the car continued to rev. I turned the car off. When I started the car, it was revving as badly as it had before I turned it off. Currently, the car is at the used car dealership, and they have no idea how to fix it or even how it happened to begin with.”
NHTSA complaint #11113538, filed 2018-07, 40,000 miles“I brought my car into the dealership at 33000 miles when it was bucking and hesitating when I accelerated. The mechanic could not detect a code and told me to drive the vehicle until the part completely broke down and a check engine light came on. The car soon would not accelerate past 25 MPH and was bucking up and down like a ping pong ball. I crawled into the dealership and was told I needed an ignition coil replaced. I was also told the other coils would probably go bad one by one, but I couldn't have them all replaced under the warranty at one time until they malfunctioned. …”
