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.
The vehicle fails to accelerate from a stop in snow mode. Engine does not respond to acceleration pedal. My wife was stuck halfway in a intersection of a state highway. She had to shut off engine and restart the vehicle to get the car to function. No warning lights appeared. This has happened twice in the last week and after some research on the internet, it seems like this is not an isolated incident. Others have reported this same problem. Here is one particular case ID i saw was #11560843 with the same problem.
When I parked my vehicle I had a little less than half a tank of gas. I started my vehicle again 2 hours later and a low fuel warning appeared. I immediately looked at the instrument panel confused and the fuel gauge had no illumination as if the tank was completely empty and miles to empty showed 121. I turned off the vehicle, waited a minute and turned it back on. Again, the low fuel warning appeared, no illumination on the fuel gauge and this time the miles to empty was a dash line. I parked the vehicle nervous to drive it anywhere in this condition. I checked it again in a couple of hours with the same result. I put 1 liter of gas in the tank and the errors disappeared and the fuel gauge now shows half tank and 140 miles to empty. There is definitely something wrong somewhere.
