Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving 35 MPH on a six lane commercial road (three lanes in each direction) when the vehicle suddenly decelerated to below 20 MPH. The cars around me had to swerve to avoid hitting me, and I had to turn on the hazard lights to warn the surrounding vehicles. I tried pressing on the gas several times, but the speed would not go above 20 MPH. However, the rpms were going above the red line (above 6,000) and the engine was revving very loud. The speed of the vehicle did not go above 20 MPH for the next fifteen minutes of driving. …”
