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.
Car stalled while driving on a on ramp to the freeway. I pulled over and tried to start it. It sounded like it was trying to turn over by itself for a good 10 seconds. When it restarted, after releasing the break my car thrust forward. Then started to spuber like it wanted to stall again. At that time 3 lights came on on the dash... the check engine, stabilization and another I've never seen. Was real close to a Dodge dearer where I bearly made it to. When I asked the person about the tigris light coming on he told me 'that means get it in asap! something seriously wrong is with the vehicle.' The car has just over 30K miles and I know it's still under warranty.
'takata recall' about 2 months ago my car wouldn't start. I thought it was due to the cold weather. The 2nd day same thing wouldn't start and had to end up getting jumper cables. The 3rd in the morning again some trouble but no cables were needed. But later that afternoon I had to go to my child's school. Got down for what was no more than about 7mins came back and my car wouldn't start. Had to get cables. Soon as we got the car going went to autozone and they checked it saying it was the battery. So I bought another battery then and there. Hooked it up. The car turned in fine but my power steering light came on. The steering wheel was so stiff to turn but I had to go. And lucky me it wasn't a far drive and pretty straight. About 3 days from then we took it to the dealership. Let them know what happened and they said that all they needed to do was reprogram the module. But they call back 15mins later saying they couldn't do it because the module wasn't communicating back and that they need $230 to run a diagnostic so they can know what was the root of the problem. I didn't have the money to spare at the time. So I said not now. Once they brought my car around, they let me know that now the overhearing light came on after they looked at it. On the way home the car turned off at a main street, lucky us I got to turn into a parking lot as it turned off all while I, husband, and my daughters. Turned it back on and came back on fine. Then all I wanted to do was come home and hope the car wouldn't turn off again. The air, headlight, and bluetooth can not run at the same time cause the dashboard lights and headlight will flicker and then the car will turn off.
Twice while driving my car has just completely stalled and lost power. Both times I was slowing to a stop. Other times it feels as it it will stall but doesn't. it has caused two minor accidents at a stop sign due to the stalling.the other event happened at 50,0000 miles in June. I took car to dealership, no codes came up.
