Example complaints

“I only had my car 4 days when driving on the garden state parkway at approximately 60 MPH on a sunday with my grandchildren in the car. Luckily, I was in the slow lane when the SUV just shut off. I was able to pull onto the shoulder and restart the car. I was near an exit and proceeded down the ramp. The car again shut off at the bottom on the ramp. The check engine light stayed on. I called the dealer the next day (monday) and brought the car in on tuesday. It is now friday and I still do not have my car.”
NHTSA complaint #10162415, filed 2006-07, 110 miles“After placing the car in drive, when pressing on the accelerator to move the car the pedal would not allow me to depress it. The pedal began to work after stomping down which causes the car to jerk forward suddenly. Again after coming to a stop at the light and making a right hand turn, after releasing the brakes and stepping on the accelerator, the pedal again would not depress until stomped on. This typically happens when the vehicle has been out in the cold and after it has been turned off for an extended time period (overnight).”
