Stator Assembly Freewheels
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the stator roller clutch becomes ineffective, the stator assembly freewheels at all times in both directions. With this condition, the vehicle tends to have poor acceleration from a standstill. If poor acceleration problems are noted, what to be checked first are that the exhaust system is not blocked, the engine is running properly and the transmission is in 1st gear when starting out.
