Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Initially (2) times there was no response from engine when gas pedal depressed, we have had 3-4 incidents of when stopped at intersection, or driving slowly in parking lot engine surges and breaks had to be applied severely to prevent car from hitting other cars, the last incident was the transmission would not shift from 1st gear and car would not go faster than 20 MPH. All of these are safety issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10152782, filed 2006-03, 2,431 miles“Throttle becomes sporadic and unstable. Problem occurs once car has reached operating temperature and is restarted. This is a safety issue due to vehicle surging forward or not responding. Manufacturer has not resolved this issue even after several attempts.”
NHTSA complaint #10160101, filed 2006-06, 7,114 miles“Seven instances of unwanted engine acceleration since jan 2006. All occurrences similar: 1)engine is warm after a period of driving; 2) car decelerating approaching stop sign, traffic light, or in stop-and-go traffic; 3) a barely audible click is heard and the engine RPM begins to rev up making braking difficult and giving a clue that something is amiss. When this point is reached key was turned off or idle selected to see how high the RPM would rev; 4800 is the highest noted. This is a random event as the car has over 10000 miles with 7 occurrences. Latest date is noted below.”
