“While driving up an incline the vehicle began to make a grinding noise. Shortly thereafter the car began shaking, with the check engine and ESC lights both coming on, then a sudden stoppage of acceleration, and then engine shut down while the vehicle was still in motion. This caused the immediate loss of steering and the brakes to go soft. The vehicle sat for 10 minutes before re-starting; however, after driving approximately 100 feet, the car once again made the grinding noise, engine and ESC light illumination, shaking, and then shut down. …”
NHTSA complaint #10303865, filed 2010-02, 39,558 miles“Vehicle surges, the motor will rev up and down between 500 and 1400 rpms almost stalling. When stopped at a red light or stop sign with the vehicle in gear the van will surge and move you ahead 2-3 inches with the brakes applied. The vehicle will surge at different speeds with it in reverse with no one touching the gas pedal. The check engine light has never come on. The van also will act as if it has no power or not getting enough fuel when first taking off then it will take off like its got a turbo. Its tough to drive this vehicle safely and it doesn't do it all the time. …”
