What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
When I press the gas, the vehicle will jerk very badly and jump like it is a stick shift, but it is not. When it finally gets moving it continues to jerk, sputter and jump. This has been going on since I purchased the vehicle.
The vehicle does not accelerate when commanded using the accelerator pedal, there is a revving then a sudden jerk forward. This happens when driving at low speeds, in stop and go conditions and when changing lanes or attempting to pass.
Transmission slips and then surges. Very frequently, when the accelerator pedal is depressed there is no acceleration without significant delay. The vehicle surges in heavy traffic situations and on more than occasion, has caused near accidents.
