AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE MILEAGE WAS NOT ADDING CORRECTLY, I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 104 MILES ON IT AND AFTER 2 WEEKS OF DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 200 MILES THE TOTAL MILES ON MY CAR WAS 150. MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY STARTS ON OCCASION WHEN I USE MY KEY FOB TO LOCK MY DOORS. MY STEREO/GPS/BACK UP CAMERA VIEW DOESN'T WORK AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT 'SLIPS' AND OTHERS IN WHICH I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PEDAL) TO THE FLOOR TO GET MY CAR TO MOVE. TODAY I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL, UPON GREEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PEDAL) AND MY CAR RESPONDED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE REVVED AND IT MOVED A FEW FEET. I HAVE LESS THAN 33,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY 'CAN'T DUPLICATE' THE ISSUES I'M HAVING. TRANSMISSION APPOINTMENT IS TOMORROW. I WOULD LIKE NOTIFICATIONS OF ANY RECALLS, I AM UNABLE TO CHECK THE BOX AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE I AM SUBMITTING.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO FIRST GEAR AND ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN WOULD TRY TO MOVE UP TO A HIGHER GEAR AND GET SUSPENDED FOR ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS AS IF IT COULD NOT FIND THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2-3 TIMES SO FAR. ALSO, WHEN I HAVE TESTED THE RESPONSE OF ACCELERATING BY PRESSING THE GAS WHILE TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND AS EXPECTED. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE ONLY RESPONDED AS IF I WAS SLIGHTLY ACCELERATING. I HAVE A 1.6 TURBO. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD GO OUT - EXCEPT FOR MY RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM. I SUSPECT THIS HAD TO DO WITH A SENSOR AS IT WAS DUSK AND MY LIGHTS TRIPPED SOME ELECTRICAL OR SOFTWARE DEFECT. I WAS GOING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AROUND WASHINGTON D.C. AT THE TIME AND COULD NOT SEE ANY OF THE DRIVING CONTROLS FOR APPROX 20 SECONDS. I AM NOT SURE IF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THAT TIME BUT EVENTUALLY, AFTER FLIPPING MY LIGHTS OFF AND ON AND PRESSING THE DASH LIGHT TO MAXIMUM, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD RETURNED. LAST WEEK, THE AUDIO OF MY RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK. AFTER LEAVING MY CAR AND LOCKING IT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND RETURNING, THE SOUND WAS WORKING AGAIN. I TOOK A VIDEO OF THIS. THE TEMPERATURE IN MY VEHICLE WAS NOT REGULATING PROPERLY WHILE STATIONARY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A BAD SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. IT HAS WORKED GREAT SINCE THEN. HOWEVER, I AM STILL HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION FROM A RED LIGHT OR TURNING INTO A ROAD, OR ACCELERATING FROM A VERY SLOW SPEED. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN A SECOND DEALERSHIP TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT STILL LINGERS. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO FEEL VERY INSECURE ABOUT DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I AM SECOND OWNER. FIRST OWNER HAD ONLY PUT 2500 MILES ON IT AND TRADED IT IN. PROBABLY A BAD SIGN.

I AM EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND COGNIZANT OF THESE ISSUES WHEN I AM DRIVING ALWAYS TAKING EXTRA PRECAUTIONS HOWEVER, IN THIS INSTANCE THAT SLIGHT HESITATION IN ACCELERATION WAS ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE , SUBSTANTIAL MONETARY LOSS AND INJURY.

The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
