Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I'm cruising the RPM flutters and the truck seems to be confused as to what gear it should be on. Acceleration sometimes is hesistant and delayed. The gas pedal needs to be almost full depressed for the truck to accelerate. The front bumper is crooked. I checked for any give on the structure but there were none. There was no collision involved.”
NHTSA complaint #11288708, filed 2019-12, 38,500 miles“When pushing on the gas pedal, the vehicle does not always respond immediately. On at least 3 separate occasions, I have been stopped, pressed the gas pedal and the vehicle rolled into an intersection, but I wasn't able to accelerate for about 3-4 seconds. I was essentially sitting in an intersection blocking traffice waiting on the truck to respond.”
NHTSA complaint #10968379, filed 2017-03, 3,200 miles“When the truck is in drive and stop at stop sign or red light, the idle RPM drops low 6 out of 10 times. The lowest I experienced was ~300 RPM and the truck shakes. There were times it dropped to ~400 RPM, the truck did not shake. Thing is, it only drops for a couple of seconds and go back up to 625-675 range. Then I take off, truck drives normal. Note that AC is on when this happens. If not heavy on brakes it will pull through them at a complete stop.”
NHTSA complaint #11265818, filed 2019-10, 59,800 miles“Unintended acceleration multiple times in my possession. A launch forward into another individuals vehicle. Brought it back to the dealership for a second time with the same complaint and finally they were able to duplicate the problem. Yet with a simple update nna corp decides that the vehicle is safe to come back into my hands but the dealer does not feel the same in this situation. I've been with out my vehicle for over 3 months now. And I don't feel it's safe.”
NHTSA complaint #11071672, filed 2018-02, 8,000 miles“On may 29, 2020 after placing my truck in drive, it slowly accelerated. The RPM reading was around 1k even with me flooring the pedal. The traction control light and check engine light were illuminated. I then turned the vehicle off. The warning lights turned off and the vehicle accelerated normally for about 0.1 miles. The warning lights came back on. I again turned the vehicle off and back on. Traction control remained on. I attempted to cross a busy main six lane parkway to make a left turn. Power was lost as I entered second lane trying to cross to opposite side of parkway. …”
