Example complaints

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

“The consumer pulled out of a parking space, stopped at a stop sign, made a left turn, drove a few yards, stopped again, proceeded to make a right turn and without warning the vehicle accelerated forward at an estimate speed of 45 MPH. The consumer immediately pumped the brake pedal to no avail. The consumer struggled to steer the vehicle from a two lane busy street. The vehicle crashed into a grassy embankment. All four tires blew out when this occurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. After a factory engineer inspected the vehicle, they found no cause for the sudden acceleration. …”
