The throttle body started malfunctioning while driving on the highway. Power was lost and I was unable to accelerate. There were vehicles behind me that had to react quickly in order not to wreck. The ETC warning light did not come on at first but as my vehicle kept sputtering the light would flash on and off very quickly. I lost a great deal of speed trying to get up a hill so I could pull over and get out of traffic. After looking up the light in the manual it says to cycle the ignition and I did that. The vehicle was working ok again for a few minutes and then suddenly lost the ability to accelerate again and would go in and out, sputtering. Again thankfully the vehicles behind me were paying attention and were able to immediately slow down. I have only had the vehicle for 3 months and of course as soon as there is no warranty it starts messing up. A mechanic did confirm the issue and yes it-€™s available for inspection.

Nozzle at fuel pump was stuck inside the gas cap and tank. Both fuel station staff & I attempted to remove the nozzle from the gas tank but it would not come out. We had to use a piece of metal to pry out the nozzle. There is a metal notch on the gas nozzle that once inserted becomes lodged on the inner lip of the gas cap and you cannot remove it. This is a serious defect in the gas tank design and could cause safety issue especially if the gas nozzle continues to pump gas and the tank is full.
