Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving at a normal rate of speed on a fairly busy street when the car just suddenly decelerated, causing the car behind me to swerve to narrowly avoid me. Thankfully he also avoided hitting anyone else. My car continued to move forward, but with no ability to accelerate. I managed to get clear of traffic and was able to get the car to a repair place nearby. I was told that the entire throttle body was bad, and that it would have to be replaced. The car is a 2011, less than 60k miles on it with regular oil changes and has never had any issues until this. …”
NHTSA complaint #10749260, filed 2015-08, 57,935 miles“Car accelerates when idling in drive or reverse even with foot on brake. Causes many near accidents when parking or idling. Seems to be connected with AC compressor. This is very dangerous and should be recalled and fixed.”
