Typical engine symptoms owners report

  • Vehicle suddenly accelerates instead of braking while pulling into or maneuvering in a parking spot, sometimes ending in a collision.
  • Engine or engine-related warning lights and check-engine alerts appear during transitions between electric and gas power, with some owners reporting faulty fuel injectors, spark plugs, or ignition coils diagnosed by dealers.
  • While using cruise control, the vehicle unexpectedly decelerates or brakes as if reacting to a phantom obstacle, then requires the driver to disengage cruise control and reapply the throttle.
  • Hybrid engine restarts on its own after the battery drains from being left in accessory or running mode, in one case filling an enclosed garage with exhaust.
  • Accelerator response continues briefly after the driver releases the pedal, described as unwanted continued acceleration.
