Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car braked without warning while going around a curve and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road with no good reason. Traffic going the opposite direction was heavy but no hazards on my side of the road. Cars behind me had to swerve and I was nearly rear ended and could have resulted in very serious injury.”
