Example complaints

“While cruise control is on and controlling the vehicle speed, the speed setting will sometimes (I.e. Unpredictably and intermittently) increase the speed to the closest 5 MPH increment when commanded to decrease the speed to the closest 5 MPH increment. I have been able to reproduce this error dozens to hundreds of times but I cannot discern a notable pattern and the behavior seems unpredictable. This is not a new issue but has existed since I purchased the vehicle new in 2014. Example: I am driving and set the cruise control to on to control the vehicle speed at 63 MPH. …”
NHTSA complaint #11362920, filed 2020-10, 110,000 miles“1. Overtime, i noticed my car starts to jerk during acceleration and would accelerate, completely stall for about 2 seconds before getting back in forward motion. It when that jerk happens, it feels like the car is suddenly in neutral for those few seconds. This has been happening more frequently and has now been happening every other green light. This seems dangerous and I also don’t like that it does this on the highway. 2. steering wheel has some resistance issues. 3. ECM is malfunctioning because my dashboard constantly shows at least 5 incorrect warning check lights. …”
