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.
Vehicle stalled while driving at highway speed in traffic. After pulling over to the shoulder from the "high speed lane" and allowing the vehicle to sit, it started and has not stalled since. This was potentially disastrous.
Consumer stated there was an excessive crank in the mornings, dealer stated that vehicle needs to be started every 2 days, if not vehicle will experience a slow start.
Engine died at freeway speed. I was able to maneuver to the shoulder and re-start engine. This is the second occurrence. Both incidents happened during hot weather. I took the car to the dealership both times. Dealership couldn't find the cause.
Vehicle stalls intermittently at any speed. Vehicle has been taken to dealer 3 times, fuel pump and starter switch were replaced/computer was updated, and wiring harness was repaired, has not remedied the problem.
The vehicle suddenly stalls while driving and without warning, this problem has occured on four different occasions, the dealer has replaced certain parts but the problem reoccurs. Nlm
Consumer states that the vehicle has been in the shop 7 times to get the ignition checked, the vehicle intermittently shuts down while driving at any speed. The dealer has been contacted but is unable to identify and correct the problem. Nlm
There were two incidents where while driving at low speed (10mph) ABS light turned on and engine made very strong noise. After stopping and moving to neutral in order to turn off the engine, the engine made even a louder squeaking noise. After turning off the engine and restarting the car all went back to normal. This happened twice over the last month and concerns me about what would happen if I were driving in on highway at a higher speed. The dealer tried to look at the problem, but did not identify it and does not know the source of the problem.

When driving on highway at 60-65 mph and without any warning vehicle suddenly stalled, causing loss of all power. Consumer pulled off to the side of road.
On July 29,2001, while driving at 50 mph on a country road, the car died. The dash light just came on and the just quit running in the middle of the road. No indication came from the car other than just stopped running. It didn't hesitate, bulk, or anything, just died. If this was on an innerstate freeway, it could of been disastrous.
