Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“One day, when I put my car in reverse, it clunked into gear, the gear display was scrambled, and the check engine light came on. I shut my car off and started it again, thinking it was a fluke. The check engine light remained on and it also clunked into drive. When I went to accelerate, the RPM's were 5-10 higher than normal and it took a little longer to get up and go. Sometimes, my car will initially run fine until a few minutes into the drive, when it falls into neutral while driving, then goes back to drive, the check engine light comes on again, and the problems resurface. …”
