Typical engine symptoms owners report
- Vehicle hesitates or stalls when pulling into an intersection after stopping, requiring the driver to release and repress the gas pedal to regain power.
- Engine loses power and speed unexpectedly while cruise control is engaged at highway speed, sometimes with RPMs spiking as the vehicle slows.
- Vehicle speed declines on its own, in one case dropping to around 30 mph before continuing to slow, which the dealer linked to belt, oil pressure, and engine concerns.
- Random delayed acceleration occurs when pressing the gas pedal, where the car may take several seconds to respond then lurch forward abruptly.
- Check engine light appears along with unrelated electrical glitches, such as windows lowering on their own and the radio becoming unresponsive.
- Front radar or distance sensor faults disable cruise control and trigger 'front radar unavailable' warnings during both city and highway driving.
