“I have a secondary air issue that we can't seem to get fixed, even with all the parts we have replaced. Also at night every time I use my blinker the high beams come on and won't turn off. The issue is when im driving at night it seems to happen when my blinker clicks back into place.”
NHTSA complaint #11362542, filed 2020-10, 90,000 miles“While driving, especially when the temp is under 40 degrees. I randomly get error with traction control off and reduced engine power. I have trouble accelerating and keeping speed. Which has been very dangerous to get to a safe spot on the expressway to pull off, when my speed suddenly changes. This has been happening for the last 3 years during the cold months and I have got items cleaned and sensors changed to no end.”
NHTSA complaint #11051521, filed 2017-11, 135,000 miles“My reduced engine power light came on. Used a snap on $5000 scanner. Codes say gas pedal sensor. Changed that problem still exists. Cleaned throttle case. Car stalls and I have to press gas pedal to the floor to get it to 20 miles an hour. There are so many blogs on this problem its unbelievable. I just had the recalls fixed on the ignition and head lights. Now this issue. Please help. Im single, homeless, and unemployed. This is the last thing I need right now.”
NHTSA complaint #11266560, filed 2019-10, 150,000 miles“Random misfire code won't go away since weeks after purchasing my vehicle which was then under warranty. The dealership replaced the car computer & ignition coil module, spark plugs and the code temporarily went away good enough to pass emissions. They also performed the key recall the code keeps coming & no mechanic or dealership can tell me why but they keep taking my money for a temporary fix.the dealership said I needed a new catalytic converter. …”
NHTSA complaint #11163266, filed 2018-12, 75,000 miles“I have same problem as others. Have been able to start car sometimes by putting it in neutral. Several years ago I left the car with our son to see if he could figure out the problem because my wife quit driving the car after being stranded a few times. When using blinkers the high beam would come on. It has a roaring sound like a wheel bearing going out.the key fob doesn't work. I've been told the bcm body control module could be causing problems. Had estimate of $500 to replace and program new bcm.. We have towed car home after going to store. …”
