“Plastic adjusters on headlights break when they become brittle leaving the lights aiming at the ground. Headlight bulbs constantly burn out. Amber light with cruise control not available has the affect of limiting the RPM to about 2800rpm, past this the engine quits and starts again under 2800rpm. Hold the accelerator down and the engine bucks on and off. This is dangerous as you cannot accelerate when you need to.”
NHTSA complaint #10348336, filed 2010-08, 112,000 miles“Movement is difficult to predict. At 15 MPH significant upshifting. Problem occurs in coasting at 20 MPH down to 10 MPH. As you decelerate car lurches into fisrt gear. Making brake distance impossible to predict. Causing accidents at traffic stopping points. Also significant lurching at 15mph, 40mph and then after 70mph. Car is an automatic and drives like a manual, is the primary concern and stopping distance is unpredictable. (transmission issue after three services in the first year) service secretary/manager argues that automobile is fine without test driving. …”
