Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On different occasions, when attempting to drive from 0mph, the vehicle will not accelerate. I have to turn it off then turn it back on then usually it will work. Also sometimes it won't start it turns over strong but will not crank. I'll wait several minutes or so then attempted again then it will crank and drive normal.”

“I was driving my van and I came to a stop on a hill and it wouldn't go, I had to push the pedal to the floor to go. And it won't go in reverse either. I had power problems years ago but turning my van off and back on 'fixed' the problem. Also the timing chain issue has been going on for years.”

“I brought this car and it has just gave me problems. The dealership also has caused me to many problems.

“2004 Nissan Quest van - I was traveling 55 MPH and all of a sudden the van had no power it just slowed down, the steering froze and it stalled in mid-traffic. I didn't even have enough notice to pull off the side of the road. Worse of all, the brakes didn't work I slammed on the emergency brake and looked for a curb to coast into and stop. I took the van in to the dealer. They looked at it and told me they needed to replace the throttle body. …”
