Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the freeway car started jerking while pressing on the gas, then car began to slow down, and power shut down. So luckily I was able to pull over and avoid a accident. Sat for awhile then restarted the car and drove off. On another occasion, while trying to merge on to a freeway ,while trying to accelerate, car jerks and acts as if it wants to shut down. Also door sensors beep every time you get out of car, and you have to keep slamming doors in order for interior, lights to go off. Dash reads doors are still open. …”
