Example complaints

“Car hesitates when pulling out into traffic! If I come to a rolling stop or a full stop and try to pull out, the car seems like iy may die but eventually kicks in, but seconds could mean a collision. My husband says he does not experience this and its my driving, but my daughter has had ths happen also and I have others witness this also. This is an ongoing problem, makes me afraid of driving my new car.”
NHTSA complaint #11376423, filed 2020-11, 2,000 miles“In 9000 miles, I've had this occur 3 times. Immediately after turning - straightening out, acceleration will not kick in. I see the rpms going up as I am hitting the gas, but the vehicle is not getting any power to the wheels - I was actually slowing down from my turn inertia. I had my car up to 5000 rpms, but I was still only going ~25-35 MPH. Very dangerous if I pull into traffic. I had my vehicle looked at by the dealership, however since there were no codes, they could not find anything wrong. …”
NHTSA complaint #11084328, filed 2018-04, 3,000 miles“When making sharp turn (left or right) into fast moving traffic and driving straight after the turn, while pushing accelerator pedal hard, the RPM will go up high but the speed will not (it will increase very slowly). The RPM would stay high (5000 to 6000) there will be lots of noise from the drive train but nothing will happen to lower the RPM. In order to make the CVT work properly after that, the accelerator pedal has to be fully released and the RPM will have to go down. …”
NHTSA complaint #11163287, filed 2018-12, 200 miles“Vehicle has 35,700 miles on it. Bought the vehicle june of 2018 with 30,000 miles on it. While driving 55 MPH or faster and you go and try to pass slower traffic whether it's on the highway or freeway and you turn the wheel to change lanes while pressing down on the accelerator to speed up, the transmission does not down shift and speed up. The RPM gauge increases and the engine revs high but the vehicle does not increase in speed. After you straighten out the steering wheel the vehicle all of a sudden down shifts and takes off. …”
NHTSA complaint #11232729, filed 2019-07, 33,000 miles“While accelerating mixed between pulling from zero MPH upwards of 40mph the vehicle has a high pitched squealing sound. This happens on any roadway while the car is in motion. It does not happen when the brakes are being used, only while accelerating and pushing the throttle. My transmission will sometimes hesitate or 'think' when shifting from reverse to another gear. Sometimes it is very loud was a large 'thunk' sound coming from underneath the car. The car also seems to make a whining noise when shifting out of different gates. …”
