“I was driving on interstate 95 in south florida about 70mph in heavy traffic when the engine suddenly died. After coasting a short distance trying to avoid being hit by overtaking vehicles, I was fortunate enough that a fhp officer arrived and helped me off the road. Once to the side of the road I was able to restart the car and continue to my destination.”

NHTSA complaint #10394628, filed 2011-03, 23,000 miles

“Hesitation and juttering, vibration, surging when accelerating after a stop. There is no rhyme or reason to when the car is going to act up and not accelerate as it is supposed to. Especially dangerous while in traffic or at an intersection.the car does not shift gears smoothly, it is a constant jerking while driving. The cars also rolls up to 6 when you put it in park even when on a flat level surface. The dealer kept my car for 1 month after I complained a second time, they replaced the mechatronics and also updated the software, there is no improvement or changes. …”
