Typical engine symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the engine stalling or losing power suddenly while driving in traffic at low-to-moderate speeds, sometimes accompanied by a jerky, vibratory movement before shutdown.
  • Some describe the engine revving on its own while stopped, with the vehicle then moving forward unexpectedly and striking another object.
  • Several complaints mention warning lights such as "engine malfunction" or "maintenance malfunction" appearing alongside a loss of acceleration or the inability to restart the vehicle.
  • One owner reported lower-than-expected fuel economy and was told the vehicle needed an engine software update, though the issue reportedly persisted after the update.
  • A separate complaint describes an under-hood fire following a collision, though this appears linked to a crash rather than a standalone engine failure.
