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.
At first the car would not turn over when trying to start, happened when using key in ignition as well as using the remote starter, this was random. Would run fine for days, sometimes for a week, then it won't start. Also as the weeks went by while idling at a red light, the car just quits running, couldn't get it started, after several tries, it starts (thankfully). Also happened while in park, car just stops. Also while driving on the interstate the car all of a sudden will not accelerate, press on gas pedal...nothing. Until today after a few seconds and the car suddenly starts to accelerate. Engine light came on few weeks ago, stated it was the cam shaft position sensor ($120), therefore we replaced both sensors. No change! oh we also replaced the fuel injector sensor in the back. Husband read someone else had the same problem and he recommended hitting the box in the trunk (where the fuel sensor is, etc) and your car will start up. Sure enough, the next time my car wouldn't start, I hit that box a few times, and car started.
