Example complaints

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

“The accident happened while I was driving home from the dealer. While driving up a hill a SUV three cars in front of me slammed on their brakes and stopped in the middle of a two lane road to make a left hand turn. The other two SUV's in front of me were forced to hit their brakes hard. From a speed of 35 MPH and a following distance of four car lengths I applied the brakes. Nothing happened. As I applied the brakes harder the car still failed to slow down other than for the slight bit from going up hill. I was forced to fully depress the brake pedal, but still nothing happened. …”
