NHTSA complaint #11229492, filed 2019-07, 190,000 miles“Car drops RPM and stumbles to almost stalling during breaking at city speeds also does the same in low speed reverse situation like parking. Dash lights up but no code stored. This is the third time this issue has presented itself. I spoke to a dealer reference the reverse issue and was told that there was nothing wrong with the car.
