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.
On acceleration the gas cuts out, lasting around 3 to 10 seconds. I cannot duplicate this condition, it just happens sporadically. It is very dangerous because the car behind me has no indication that I am in limbo and could easily rear-end me. This usually occurs when I am turning at a low speed, but has happened when driving straight.
I was at a traffic light and was about to make a right turn when I put my foot on the gas pedal the car hesitated and then took off. I brought it in to the dealer almost immediately and they found nothing. It happened several times after that and I brought it to the dealer again and nothing was found. I brought it to the dealer only last week for an oil change and 10000 mile check up(only have 3700miles on car) and once again nothing was found. The car does this mare times than not but the service people are unable to reproduce the issue.
In September 2012 I experienced a flattening out of the acceleration. Turning at a very low speed the car did not accelerate (this still occurs off and on). It is quite dangerous because there is no warning to the car behind me that I am no longer moving forward. It is like a stalling out which last around 5 seconds or so. Very unnerving but only seems to happen when I am going slow and turning the wheel.
