What owners wrote
Was left stranded when check engine light and at light came on. Car would not accelerate above 20 MPH and had some jerking. Had car towed in. Service dept replaced throttle body and sensor. Car still repeatedly has a jerk/hesitation when holding steady between the speeds of 40MPH and 50MPH. Have brought the car in three times for the jerking/hesitation and the service mechanic does not know what else to do.
Dt*: the contact stated there were several problems with the vehicle. The first problem involved the brake pads that were worn out and had to be replaced after 20,000 miles. The second problem dealt with manual transmission. Sometimes the manual transmission shifted roughly. Third problem, in cold weather, the engine surged and revved high for three seconds. The dealership told the contact the brake wear was normal. The dealership could not duplicate the other problems.
