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.
While driving 40 mph there was a loud clanking sound, engine revved. Stepped on gas, engine died. Tried to restart vehicle, would not start. Took vehicle to dealer, who found distributor had gone out.
Several times when I applied the brakes in stop and go traffic, at a speed of about 5 to 10 miles per hour, as I was pushing down the brake pedal, the engine would suddenly increase its speed. In order to stop I had to apply a great deal of pressure to the brake, or put the car into neutral. In a few seconds the engine speed would decrase on its own. I did not have my foot on the gas while I was braking.
While driving about 40 mph without prior warning the vehicle just stopped and would'nt start back up. Contacted dealer, and they determined the iac motor had to be replaced. The vehicle started having more problems, and now they are replacing the engine.
