This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The gas pedal sticks 75% of the time upon initial acceleration, whether that is from a stopped position or accelerating after slowing. The sticking is such that force has to be exerted to get the pedal to depress thereby causing lurching of the vehicle. In parking lot situations or on icy roads this can be potentially very dangerous. Also, both front seat adjusters that allow the seat to be repositioned have broken off while trying to repostion the seat. When we reported these items to our dealer they said these are common problems they are seeing frequently. If this is so I feel it is a defect of the manufacturer. The seat levers were plastic painted to look like metal and both broke off within a week of each other.
