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.
At 10 a.M. on a bright sunny morning, my wife and grown daughter got into my car to go to breakfast, I turned the key to start the car, and turned on the air conditioner. The air was hot, not cool, I looked through the steering wheel to the dash and there was a yellow warning lite that read "check charging system ". I put the gear lever into "D" and the car did not move but the engine reved up, I then put it into "R" and the same thing occurred, the car engine reved up but would not move. I then turned the engine off, then started it up again and this time it started normally with A/C putting out cold air and the auto moving when transmission was in gear. I took it to the dealer and they performed a quality inspection and could not find the problem. They ask me to report back to them should it happen again, with the time, temperature, rain or cloudy day, ect.. it has been about 6 days and so far it has not happened again.
