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.
Engine will stall intermittently while traveling at any speed, regardless of weather conditions / temperatures. Dealership has examined vehicle, and was unable to determine a cause for this problem. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
Abnormally high cold idle made worse by attempting to 'kick it down' with accelerator pedal; pedal sticks to kicked position causing engine to race even higher. Must shut off engine to avoid damage. With engine off, must repeatedly stomp pedal to attempt release. Partial release still leaves very high engine speed, undriveable. Dealer can't duplicate problem; found corrosion at end of throttle cable, cleaned and lubricated. Not sure if problem is fixed, since on both occasions the vehicle had sat for one week of nonuse before problem occurred.
At least 12 sets of brakes put on vehicle"4 in uder 9000 miles, resulting in 2 accidents" 3 times at turning rotors/engine rebuilt at 52000 miles still with loss of porwer. 2 egr valves/2 wiper switches/syncronizers/2 slave cylinders on transmission and oil leak. All problems still exist. Engine idles high enough that the use of the gas pedal is not needed for intown driving. Speeds of 45mph can be obtained before hitting pedal.
