TWICE MY CAR HAS LOST ENGINE POWER. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER REPAIRED SOME WIRING AND MOST RECENTLY MY CAR LOST POWER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN DALLAS (SCARY!) BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ALSO OUT DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM, SO THE BRAKES DID NOT FAIL BUT I HAD TO PUMP THEM TO WORK. THE DEALER NOW SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, SENSOR AND FILTER.

SPEEDOMETER BOUNCES FROM 0-100. CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE IDLING. *TR
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
