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.
While driving the vehicle the check engine light came on. The vehicle continued to function normally and was driven home and parked. On a later trip the same day the light remained illuminated and vehicle began to accelerate on its own. I removed my foot from the accelerator pedal and the vehicle rapidly went from 30 mph to 50 mph. I was able to slow the car down with braking and pulled off the road. When put in neutral the engine rapidly accelerated to approx. 4000rpm, in park it slowed closer to idle. Once shut off the vehicle would not start again until it cooled down, it then once again began accelerating on its own. The check engine light has remained illuminated since the first incident.
While driving a rumbling and pulsating noise appeared when pressing on the brakes, and brakes didn't seem to function. Dealer contacted, and stated that the drums were warped due to normal driving and should be replaced.
Owner has ABS brakes; brakes have excessive wear and vehicle pulls to left when brakes are used.vehicle has been in the shop numerous times. Also replaced rotors and pads.
