THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THERE ARE NO CODES STORED AND THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LAMP WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT OFTEN STUMBLES WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL BUT RECOVERS. I AM A CAREER AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN FOR OVER 25 YEARS, TRIPLE ASE MASTER TECH I HAVE PERFORMED A THROTTLE BODY CLEANING AND CHECKED ALL THE BASICS, BUT THERE IS NO INDICATION OF ANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

CAR JUMPS WHEN ACCELERATING, HAVING THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED. CAR WILL IDLE WHEN DRIVING AND GOES TO A HIGH RPM

EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS, MY BRAKES START SCRUBBING AND I HAVE DIFFICULTY STOPPING MY CAR WHEN DRIVING AND AS A RESULT OF FREQUENT BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. THIS HAS BECOME EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. THIS ISSUE STARTED IN 2014 AND IT HAS CONTINUED THROUGH 2018.

MY CAR STARTS RIGHT UP BUT WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE CAR DIES BUT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. AS I AM COMING TO A STOP IT JERKS FORWARD LIKE SOMEONE IS PRESSING IN THE THROTTLE. WHEN I REVERSE IT DIES AS WELL BUT STARTS UP. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND GUIDE IT FORWARD THE RPM GOES UP THEN DOWN AND I CAN KEEP IT AT AN IDLE. THIS IS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND ITS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I DRIVE IT JERKS AS WELL. ALMOST LIKE IT IS HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING.

I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SAY THE DRIVER HEADREST POP UP AND SPLIT APART DISCLOSING THE INTERNAL MECHANISM. I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO BE DRIVING WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 16 COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND I'M AMAZED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I FEAR THAT THE PASSENGER HEADREST WILL POP AND INJURE MY PASSENGER.
