Typical engine symptoms owners report

  • Owners report sudden unintended acceleration where the accelerator was not pressed but the vehicle sped up on its own, in one case failing to respond to the brakes.
  • Some owners describe sudden and complete engine failure while driving on the highway, including one case reported shortly after a dealership oil change.
  • Multiple owners report fuel injector misfires, often showing a P0304 diagnostic code, with dashboard warning lights for the check engine and emission systems appearing together.
