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 interstate 10, during the acceleration, the engine completely lost its power. I had to immediately pull over before I lost the momentum.the ca highway patrol pushed me to a safe place. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the dealer replaced the entire fuel tank. The second incident was almost 20 days after again during the acceleration on freeway at the speed of 70, the engine lost its power in a way that the car did not proceed for a while. The dealer advised that it was nothing wrong with engine because they could not read any error in the system and II had to wait till I receive an error on the lcd. I notified them that it is a serious problem specifically on the freeway because loss of power can cause an accident, but to no avail.
I was merging onto the interstate and got into the passing lane. I then shifted from 3rd gear to 4th and the car started to shake and lose power (limp home mode). The display said drivetrain malfunction, drive moderately, etc. And the check engine lamp came on. I shifted to 5th gear to see if it would help and had the same low power issue. I then changed two lanes to get onto the shoulder. I turned the car off and waited briefly and restarted the car. The lamps were off and there was no issue. I phoned the dealership and they stated they get this type of call often and it is a 'normal glitch.' I should drive it and see if it happens again as it usually doesn't or I could bring the car in.
