Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was driving yesterday my vehicle just randomly stalled out on me and after searching I find that this was an issue that lead to a recall. My vehicle at times will shutter/hesitate or whatever you want to call it which is also described in the recall. I don't believe this issue was properly resolved when the previous owner supposedly had it fixed”
NHTSA complaint #11337334, filed 2020-07, 94,500 miles“Driving when I lost power, even pushing on the gas... The car slowed to under 20mph. A few lights came up on dash (check engine, traction control, lightning bolt) engine stuttered and cars were swerving to go around me because I had no power no matter how much I pushed on the gas. This is the second time this happened to me, I was on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #11203381, filed 2019-04, 68,000 miles“While driving my Jeep continues to stall and stutter and gives off multiple error codes. I get my 4 wheel turned on, ABS, fuel pump, and an electrical code that is a lighting bolt in a set of parenthesis. This is happening each time I am driving and the car slows to about 10 MPH then begins to stop driving.”

It has been doing it now for 2 days and it does not happen all the time but did almost cause me to wreck on a highway yesterday! This has happened on highways and side roads. The car has not stalled out completely but it wants to and when in does it causes the car to jerk and lose speed. My car only has 33,000 miles on it.”
