Example complaints

“I was on a toll road/freeway overpass connecting to the 91 freeway in traffic going 60 MPH when suddenly my car started breaking on its own (no car directly in front of me). I tried to accelerate but was unable to. My car continued breaking and slowing, there was no where to pull over, and finally I coasted to the 91 freeway where I was able to pull over. This was extremely dangerous to lose control of one's car in speeding freeway traffic. …”
