Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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 miles“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 miles“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 miles“We bought your nv 3500 sl v8 less than two weeks ago. After driving it a few hundred miles (mostly highway) the engine became extremely noisy, with a revving sound, and it acted as if it was in neutral. It continued to sound like an airplane attempting to take off, and it was sluggish with shifting with simple acceleration and even with deceleration. This loud noise is worse if the AC is on. It will sometimes completely stop after having the car off for a while. But some days it is roaring immediately when the van is started in the morning.”
