Example complaints

“While driving in heavy highway traffic at approximately 5–10 mph, the vehicle suddenly displayed a red warning message and symbol in the driver’s gauge cluster indicating the car was shutting down. About 15–20 seconds later, propulsion was completely lost, although power steering and braking remained available. I attempted to change gears and restart the car by turning it on and off, but nothing worked. I activated the hazard lights since the car was stopped in traffic and posed a danger to surrounding vehicles. …”
