Owner report 11161832 · 2018-12-16 (December 16, 2018)
AMBER KEY LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD AFTER THE POWER LOCK WINDOW LIGHTS ON THE SIDE OF THE DOORS STARTED FLICKERING AND POWERING DOWN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THEN I PULLED OVER TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO CHECK THE FRONT HOOD OF THE CAR FOR ANY ELECTRICAL FIRE OR BURNING ODORS AND THEN I I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR WHEN I TURNED IT OFF AND GOT STRANDED. IT WAS HORRIFYING AND VERY UPSETTING.

Owner report 10810761 · 2015-12-16 (December 16, 2015)
IT STARTED WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT IN MY OFFICE BUILDING. WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AT AROUND 7-8 RPM MAKING A ROARING NOISE HEARD BY MANY WITNESSES. THIS RESULTED IN LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR WHICH THEN WENT OFF THE SIDE OF THE LOT INTO A STEEP DECLINE WHERE I HIT A TREE. IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT TREE THERE WAS ANOTHER 60-70 FT DROP INTO A CANYON THAT I INEVITABLY WOULD HAVE FALLEN INTO. YOU MIGHT SAY, "OH I MIGHT'VE PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATION INSTEAD OF THE BRAKES", BUT THERE WERE SKID MARKS LEFT ON T…

Owner report 11503845 · 2023-01-26 (January 26, 2023)
My vehicle fuel gauge reading recently started malfunctioning. It showed 1/8 tank and 40 miles left before I needed gas. The gas warning light came on. However within a minute, it showed 1/4 tank and 80 miles left before I ran out of gas. So I thought I was OK because I was on the freeway and I was getting better mileage, so I could travel further. I drove about 10 more miles and all of a sudden the warning light came on and said I only had about 2 miles of gas left. My car started sputtering and I ran out of gas on the freeway. I was VERY lu…
