“My vehicle started stalling when I was merging onto a busy highway. The electronic throttle sensor and stability sensor came on and I had to pull off on the shoulder of the road. The car was very hard to get to a stop. The breaks did not work very well and the car was jerking horribly. The car kept trying to die and would rev up and down by itself. It turned the car off and back on and it reset itself but it happened again.”
NHTSA complaint #10683584, filed 2015-02, 65,000 miles“When I pump gas my car rejects the gas when I know it isn't full. The gas shutoff at the station will kick and not allow gas to pump into my car. 2nd, after pumping gas my car will throttle up and down and then shut off whenever I stop. I have to put the car into park and turn it back on and shift to drive. 3rd, after turning on my car, I try to shfit out of park. The car will not shift out of park and my brake lights are not working. I replaced the brake shift light about a month ago and it worked fine until today. Now once again, I cannot get my car out of park. …”

Under very light acceleration (intermittent)engine will fail to respond and sometimes stay at a low RPM or stall. I have to release pedal and reapply or restart the engine. Now problem is more obvious with rain causing rough engine idle, erratic idle speed and engine stall.”
