Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Two collisions and several other incidents where I was driving 40-60 MPH, the cars in front of me suddenly braked, and I immediately braked with enough time and distance to completely stop the vehicle before colliding with the vehicle in front of me. Each time, although I slammed my foot on the brake immediately, the car felt like it was braking, but not nearly as fast or as intensely enough given the amount of pressure I was applying to the brakes and the time and distance I had to stop before reaching the car in front of me. …”
