“Every once in a while no matter how far put my foot down on the pedal it will not accelerate. This is extreamly dangerous as it has happened when crossing intersection in very busy traffic situations. I would say I probably would have been hit at least 5 times in this situation, but the drivers coming the other way saw I was having. A problem and slowed down so they would not hit me.”

NHTSA complaint #11102490, filed 2018-06, 56,000 miles“I parked the car for a few minutes left it idling. When I returned, strapped my child in the car seat then got in waiting for her mother. When she got in pulled out of the spot the car hesitated to accelerate, I drove a few miles in what I got to know as limp mode trying to understand what's going on.
