Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

ENGINE STALLING ON 90 DEGREE PLUS DAYS ABOVE 400 FEET ALTITUDE WHEN PULLING AND GOING DOWN HILLS. ALSO STALLING IN TOWN WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM STOPS, BUT EVENTUALLY GETS GOING. I'M CONCERNED IT MIGHT STALL OUT GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS, OR RAILROAD CROSSING. THE DEALER CALLED WORKHORSE AND ROB SAID ADD 6 OZ OF 2 CYCLE OIL TO EACH GAS FILL UP TO PREVENT STALLING. IT WAS TOWED TO BURT CHEVROLET JULY 15, AND THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT A 100 MILE DRIVE BEFORE IT ACTS UP.*AK
