Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine RPM surges to over 3000 without warning. This often happens when the car is initially placed in drive after starting the engine. The driver may need to suddenly apply the brake if behind a car. The high RPM also acts as an undesired cruise control system, though the vehicle is not equipped with cruise . The driver must also firmly hold the brake pedal down while stopped as the car will lurch forward.”
