Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving at reduced speed through urban areas, the vehicle will increase rpms as if the accelerator is being depressed, even though the vehicle is being driven at a constant speed with no pressure being applied to the accelerator. It is unsettling, because you have to depress the brake pedal to insure that you do not run into another vehicle in front of you. The cruise control is turned off when this occurs. If the vehicle is shut down and restarted, the rpms return to normal. …”
