Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Audi pre sence kicked in on an empty street at 30mph. It was daylight on a straight road. The seat belts tightened up with no warning and the car applied hard breaks. Luckily there was no one behind me at the time or I would have definitely been rear ended.”
