Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was entering I-295 in attleboro, ma as I accelerated to enter the highway the car started bucking and would not go faster than 40mph. I had to manually shift the car to find a gear that would not have the car buck. In 4th gear and a speed below 45mph it was ok to drive. But I had to continue on the interstate at only 40 MPH. It turned out to be that both mass air flow sensors failed. This failure LED to a very dangerous situation had someone been behind me that could have LED to an accident, or had I been on the highway and the car started bucking possibly a multiple car accident. …”
