Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I believe this vehicle has a severe safety-affecting problem with the programming of it's engine control unit. Under certain conditions, mostly (but not always) while the engine is cold or cool, the vehicle occasionally will not respond to inputs from the throttle pedal. This occurs while the road is clean and dry - I want to stress that this is not a manifestation of traction control. During these incidents even if the throttle pedal is fully depressed the car will only accelerate very slowly. When this occurs, varying the amount of throttle has no affect. …”

“Today the vehicle was hesitant to start but did. After two stops I turned car off, went into a business. When I came out the car would start but would not go forward or backwards but rev up. I nearly slammed into a curb in the process. I have a video of this.”
