Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving I have noticed that when I begin to accelerate after a complete stop my car jerks forward and doesn't catch. It's almost as if the vehicle stalls before moving forward, this happens when moving forward or reversing from a complete stop. I haven't been able to get a response to the issue from the dealership though I've let them know there is an issue multiple times over the past 3 months.”

I have gone to the dealership they rest I believe ta adaptives still having same problem. It's a little scary hoping that I don't get hit making a turn & the car hesitates. It has happened 5 times so far”

NHTSA complaint #11078525, filed 2018-03, 4,245 miles“Car engine/transmission stalls, lags,hesitates, jumps and chugs when gas is pressed from a stopped position or in slow stop and go traffic. When pressing on the gas pedal the engine/trans does not engage and move the car. After a few seconds the car will engage and jerk, and jump. The hesitation makes the car feel like it is going to stall out. Very dangerous situation. I am afraid every time I get in the car to drive. This has been going since the day bought the car”
