Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Please investigate! Approx. 3 days ago I was coming to a stop sign in a residential area & applied brakes. Speed limit is 25, but I was going slower, just to the corner past my home. Not only did brakes not work- the car began to accelerate on its own to about 35-40 MPH- no gas applied. Tried pumping brakes, shifting the car into neutral, reverse, park- all while at an unexpected accelerated speed. I plowed into a residential yard which had a small hill thinking maybe I could stop the car that way. That didn't work. I swerved back into the street; car still revving and moving forward. …”

NHTSA complaint #11337721, filed 2020-07, 137,500 miles

“2007 Cadillac SRX brakes were applied at 60 MPH; brake pedal went to the floor and braking action was non-existent. Second push on the brake pedal provided some braking action and the vehicle successfully came to a stop on the shoulder. No dash warning lights or signals were observed. Vehicle was towed to a GM dealer; their inspection revealed that the right side front brake pipe(tubing) burst due to corrosion. Master brake cylinder was empty.”
