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.
I have had a couple of unsafe situations with my car due to inadequate throttle response when trying to pass a car or merge into a freeway. The delay in accelerating, due to the transmission trying to find the appropriate gear to match the engine acceleration required. I was told by the service folks at the dealership that unfortunately the condition is inherent in the design (8-speed auto). Mercedes Benz had the same problem with their new 7-speed transmission until they fixed it.
