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.
I stopped at a red light, when light turned green, I pressed the accelerator, however the car would only roll not accelerate, engine had no response whatsoever, in some cases the rev actually dropped instead of going up, which was bizzare. After pressing the accelerator for about 5 seconds the car will suddenly accelerate to 3000 RPM and over and take off, then when I stop again, same thing happens. It kept on recurring everytime I stop. Uphill was even more difficult to get the car going. However, I did get it fixed by updating the engine software at the dealer. There should be an announced recall for this problem, it is scary.
