Example complaints

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

“Suv will stall when you give it gas, it will start to shake and the check transmission light and the cruise control light all come on, then the vehicle goes dead. Sometimes if you hit a bump it will just turn off. This happens on an almost daily bases, and the dealer states there is nothing wrong with it, I have changed multiple parts at there prompting to fix this, they have all failed, they continue to tell me there is nothing wrong, this is very dangerous and could be fatal to my son who drives this vehicle. It stalls in the middle of the highway.”
