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.
For over a year, I've had trouble with one of the tires losing air every few days. I'm thinking that perhaps it is the valve stem, but I'm not a mechanic. The other day, though, I was accelerating on a mountain road moving about 45/50 mph and the car stopped accelerating. It was as if it was in neutral and could no longer move. I had to have it towed back to my house, about 5 miles away. It still will not move when I put it in gear. I tried several times while waiting for the tow truck and a few times it would go into gear, but moved very slowly. When it moved about 5 ft, it would again act as if it were in neutral. The last time I tried, the mil light up and has not gone off. I just went and tried it again and took a video so you could hear that it is now whining louder than normal and when I put it in drive, it actually jerked and started rolling backward. It looks like I can't upload the video, though. I added pictures of what is lit up in the panel.
