Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I've noticed about a year ago I would start this car, and the RPM's would go very high. After a while it stopped doing it. The last two weeks while driving it accelerates on it own. No need to touch the gas pedal. This can be dangerous, and I'm wondering if there is a recall on this issue.it happens while stationary and while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11010524, filed 2017-07, 156,000 miles“When slowing down to accommodate another car, my vehicle began unable to accelerate and then I noticed that the brakes had locked up as well. I had to take the key out of the car and restart it for it to work again.”
NHTSA complaint #10660376, filed 2014-11, 130,000 miles“We purchased this vehicle on 9/2007 with 65,327 miles. The 1st year or so, it was ok, except for the emmisions system which they repaired. Over the next years, we have had to replace the brakes, rotors constantly! Then the stability control light kept coming on warning of the ABS/traction control problem. Then, my lights starting going out in the car, dash, computer system warning area, and head lights flickering. The car shakes excessively when I try to stop and go over 55 miles an hour on highway to the point I think the front end is going to fall off! …”
NHTSA complaint #10463989, filed 2012-07, 80,000 miles“Car kept cutting off and the RPM was at around 4000 without touching the gas. Sometimes when I go to hit the gas it will just sputter and die then it will take about 10 minutes to get it started again. Check engine light was on and they said I needed a mass air flow sensor so got that replaced and it still did it. Then they said the crankshaft position sensor code came up so I replaced and it still does it. I have almost been in a few accidents because the car will die out at the wrong time.”
NHTSA complaint #10107986, filed 2005-01, 69,000 miles“Oldsmoblie Aurora 2001 had idle problems. Under various conditions the vehicle would not return to idle and in some instances the vehicle's RPM's would increase. The problem persisted on and off for two years. The dealer replaced the cruise control but that did not correct the problem. Once the dealer replaced the throttle position sensor the problem was alleviated.”
