Example complaints

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

“My car was on for about 5 minutes. I didn’t mean to step on the gas but I did and the car wouldn’t stop accelerating. Like the car is in park and I took my foot ass the gas but it’s still an uncontrolled acceleration issue. It revved up to the redline or highest rpm and stayed like that for 2 minutes. The only was for me to stop it was turn the car off.”

NHTSA complaint #11766839, filed 2026-09

“On one occasion, the car automatically applied the breaks and parked itself while driving on a main road. On another occasion, while parking the car at the home it accelerated aggressively and almost crashed into the garage- driver lost complete control of the car. On a separate occasion, the gauge console (screen behind the steering wheel) became morphed and could not show the MPH- an electrical glitch it seemed. The last occasion the car stopped and parked itself while accelerating or braking on the highway.”
