Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine stalls at any speeds with no advance warning. Power steering and power brakes are therefore also inoperable. Vehicle must be coasted in this condition to a stop and put in park before it will restart. This obviously is a life-threatening maneuver in multiple lanes of 70 MPH specially when my wife and kids are in the car.”
