Example complaints
Engine: “My car would rev up really loud after I started it and would last for 1 minute or 1 minute and half until I depress the accelirator . Recently my car will keep on revving up in low speed and while in interstate, I could feel the engine really loud while driving at high speed and I won't speed up in low speed except giving loud sound. I feel its dangerous not safe to drive when it do that.”
NHTSA complaint #11283130, filed 2019-12, 16,000 milesOther or unknown: “My van will randomly sound like it is neutral when it is in drive and it loses acceleration when this occurs. The frequency it has been occurring and duration is increasing. It will now lose acceleration and the rpms will randomly increase while driving. The rental van that we drove did the same thing. Reports from other 2017 nv 3500 owners state that their vans are doing the same thing. …”
NHTSA complaint #11005443, filed 2017-07, 500 milesVehicle speed control: “First notice a loud revving sound coming from the engine yesterday may 8. It happens while driving and you lose power to accelerate when trying to accelerate the car does not increase in speed. Today may 9 I have noticed with the air being on that it tends to rev more. It happened several times today. Sounds like a jet taking off. Van has approximately 10,000 miles on it. It is very scary when it happens while driving and you lose power. It will happen while moving, parked, shortly after starting. There's no rhyme or reason.”
NHTSA complaint #11092788, filed 2018-05, 10,790 milesTransmission and drivetrain: “When accelerating in low gears, there is a loud fan noise. Loss of power, and a very high revving engine just before shifting to next higher gear. When finally reach 40 MPH or so, revving goes down but very load fan/engine noise is still there. This has happened several times. The latest was 09/21. The first was on 08/06 on the interstate in tennessee. Just purchased van in mid august. Only 1200 miles on it. Taking it to dealer tomorrow but they don't believe me that something is wrong. Worried that it will damage engine or transmission and leave me stranded somewhere.”
