Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Windshield wipers only work on high and they cut off on me one day in the rain while driving on the highway after a heavy downpour just started out of nowhere which was very scary and then again around town on other rainy days. Also when I drive and first go to accelerate, sometimes it feels as if the car is not fully in drive although it is and I have to press way down on the gas then brake then take off again to make it jump into gear all the way. When idling its high and low sounding as well, so I just want to know if any of this is covered under any recall?”
NHTSA complaint #10510019, filed 2013-04“I was backing my 95 Buick Roadmaster station wagon from a parking lot at a retirement center when I depressed the brake to allow me to shift from park to reverse, the car suddenly accelerated and shot back across the parking lot, nearly a hundred feet before I was able to turn the wheel and veer it away from a crowded building and then turn off the ignition key to stop the motor. I had my foot on the brake the entire time and was not near the accelerator pedal.”
NHTSA complaint #10109931, filed 2005-02“Vehicle took off full throttle while in drive going aproximately 60mph. Consumer was stomping on brake pedal trying to stop and brakes were pulsating, causing ABS to jam. Consumer turned key to shut vehicle off. Cruise control cable pulled throttle cable back. Consumer stated he had no control of vehicle and injured his foot.”
