Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)ENGINE REDUCED POWER WARNING AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT TOOK ME DOWN TO 25 MPH. I COULDN'T GO NO MORE THAN 25 OR 30 MILES PER HOUR. PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF BY ITSELF. *TR
I WAS DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH AND SPED UP TO PASS A CAR. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WAS STUCK THERE. I COULDN'T BUDGE IT. LUCKILY, MY BRAKES WERE STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERPOWER THE ACCELERATOR. I STOPPED THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAS STRANDED. MY MOM CAME DOWN AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE. I HAD HER DRIVE ME HOME SINCE I AM EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT. THIS WAS A REALLY SCARY OCCURANCE AND I AM WORRIED IT MAY HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SO HERE I AM WITH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT MAY BE WRONG. IN ADDITION, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF IT. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE THIS IS RECALLED? A DEATH? I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANYONE BUY THIS CAR. AT LEAST THIS YEAR OF THIS MODEL.
