“I was driving on a highway at night when a car with lights as bright as a football stadium came up behind me. I could no longer see the road in front of me and had to slow down and pull off the road until the car went around me. This was dangerous and could have caused a horrific accident with possible deaths.”
NHTSA complaint #11092371, filed 2018-05, 33,000 miles“With 68 miles on car, a click sound is always heard each time the air conditioning button is pressed to on position/light and the engine smells hot and gives off a burning smell every single time the car goes over 65 MPH/acceleration from 60 to 65mph or from any other speed/MPH up to 65mph makes the smell of a hot engine. There is no smoking but the air in the car smells at 65mph so I go 60mph to prevent the smell because it makes me very nervous. …”
NHTSA complaint #10888764, filed 2016-07, 68 miles“I was coming out of my drive way at 5-10 MPH and the car accelerated without me putting my foot on the gas. It was not a huge acceleration but I still have concerns.”
NHTSA complaint #10725449, filed 2015-06, 534 miles“Vehicle stalls/hesitates when accelerating if engine is warm. Will restart immediately if stalls, but continued attempts to accelerate result in hesitation or stalling.

NHTSA complaint #11113002, filed 2018-07, 62,000 miles“The ABS light and the traction control light continuously illuminate but go on and off during car rides. The car is also making a strange rattling noise under the hood because the idler pulley system is failing. This nose persists while the car is stationary, in motion, and turning on any road condition. The car also is having a jerking motion when trying to accelerate and is slow to pick up speed. The car is hesitating when picking up speed.”
