About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Transmission/vcm constantly continues to shift. Car cannot locate correct drive ratio. Very prevalent when driving 60 mph on level grade and no pedal movement. However, the transmission and/or variable cylinder management constantly surging is noticeable at all speeds with no change in pedal force applied. Also, when accelerating from a stop slowly and a sudden demand to increase speed, the transmission fails to downshift when the pedal is pushed to the floor and restricts the engine rpms.
