Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car stopped accelerating as I was driving (twice this has happened - in a bend in the road--very scary). Also, around this time, could not start up the car--car engine was attempting to turn over but wouldn't until about my 6th attempt. I never had problems starting my car before. I might add that recently, before I had this problem, I have noticed that my vehicle does not have the fast pick up that it use to.”
