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.
Started my car in the morning and it sounded normal (it had driven perfectly normal the day before). When I tried to back out of the driveway, it had no power in reverse and barely crept onto the road. When I put it into drive, it had no power either-only crawled very slowly. When I put it into manual drive, it went normally. Back into automatic and it was creeping again. Haven't taken it to a garage yet because I don't trust it on the road now.
On interstate highway the engine suddenly lost power without warning. A "reduced engine performance" light was lit on the dash. I was able to get off the interstate highway and stop on the berm. I turned off the engine and restarted. The warning light was still on but it had enough power to get me home (30 miles). This is a very serious problem. The warning light is still on and I am afraid to use the wagon.
