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 abruptly stops and I have a 3 second stall, then the car resumes normal operation. Could be a real serious accident without warning. This happened in motion on a highway from a stop light or stop sign or pulling out onto traffic.
Transmission upshift and downshift timing is weird. Press accelerator to get more power to pass any vehicle on the road and transmission very untimely upshift into higher gear reducing the power to wheels. Creates a dangerous situation since lack of power requires pressing the accelerator even harder. Engine reacts by downshifting but power comes to wheels few seconds later and other cars on road already close in and start honking.
