Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer was traveling on a side street and without prior notice, vehicle started knocking/hesitating, and then surging. Sudden surging almost resulted in an incident. Dealership is aware of problem.
Engine surges/ it stalls/rough idle/ hard start.ing, and loss of power brakes and steering wheel due to defective module. Manufacturer has received notice #c96067 for defect. *ak the vehicle stalls at slow speed, check the engine light cames on. Power door lock is inoperative.
Consumer put vehicle in to the drive position, vehicle's accelerator went to the floor and was stuck, causing the vehicle to fishtail uncontrollably through a parking lot and then proceeded into an alley where the vehicle finally stopped after crashing through one fence and being stopped at another.
The wrong size vacuum line installed on actuator which caused the cruise control to not work properly.
Vehicle description: pickup trucks, crew cabs, utility trucks and sport utility vehicles. These vehicles were built with the polarity of the wiring for the zero adjust brake switch reversed from what was specified on the switch drawing. With the reversed polarity, the contacts in the brake switch can wear out prematurely. The brake switch will perform normally until the brake switch contacts wear out, resulting in loss of the brake lamps without any warning to the driver. This is the same problem I have with my vehicle. Plus, the cruise control will not shut-off becase the brake lights are not turned on when pushing down on the brake pedal.
Brake pedal seized when driving over 40mph, happens off and on.
While driving vehicle would be missing/backfiring and blowing black smoke. Went to emission control inspection, and vehicle didn't pass. Also, fuel injection line in throttle body was a plastic line and it split. Filled up fuel injection system with gasoline. If there was a spark, vehicle would catch on fire. In addition, replaced catalytic converter/o2 sensor/ radiator cap/ brake rotors, and throttle body air valve. However, vehicle was still exhibiting the same problem. Contacted dealer .
Vehicle had rough idle, cleaned egr valve. Reoccurring problem.
Vehicle collided with tree as a result of sudden acceleration. Mjs
