Example complaints

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

“While driving on busy streets, unexpected acceleration while trying to brake at red lights...the brakes do not work. Fortunately no bodily injuries, only smashed up cars...I will not drive that car again and I don't even feel good about selling it to someone else .”

NHTSA complaint #11255373, filed 2019-09, 53,328 miles

“I had a well documented episode of unintended acceleration (foot on brake, car revved suddenly, then I flipped it into neutral). This occurred about 2 years ago. No one was injured. I brought the car to the dealership which identified a problem in the computer system. I have a copy of the records. I thought that this might be useful in other investigations of sudden unintended acceleration.”
