Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I lost and estimated 97% of brake pressure while coming to a stop from approximately 40 MPH to stop at a highway ramp traffic control stop light. The brake pedal touched the floor and I pumped the brakes several times with only a minimal return of brake pressure. I used the manual gear shift mode to perform engine braking to slow the car to a stop with the very minimal brake pressure available but surpassed the stop light by one car length. There was fortunately no one in front of me at the time. …”
