Example complaints

“I was leaving greenville, s.c.and the left side brakes lock and pulled me into the left lane of traffic and I took my foot off the gas and the car free rolled for a short distance while I got back in my lane. I reapplied the gas and got back up to twenty-five MPH and the right side brakes locked. I was only going approximately twenty five MPH when all of this occurred. I stopped in the emergency lane and got out of the car. I saw nothing visibly wrong and started up the emergency lane and the brakes continued to lock as I was going up the emergency lane. …”
NHTSA complaint #10231488, filed 2008-06, 20,500 miles“There actually is no incident yet. The date is bogus so I can process this. My car is equipped with cadilllac's stabilitrak system. Approximately 80% of the time when making right hand turns only the system engages. Approximately 50% the car decelerates. When trying to make a right hand turn into traffic this is a dangerous situation. When I am trying to turn and join traffic and the car decelerates I am liable to be hit one day. I can be starting from a complete stop or I can even be rolling through a green line and this system will engage, but only in right hand turns.”
NHTSA complaint #10234098, filed 2008-07, 1,000 miles“Making a right turn onto a road from a stopped position results in activation of stability control and complete loss of power for 1-2 seconds. Without any change in pressure on the accelerator, the vehicle speeds up. This has happened repeatedly.”
NHTSA complaint #10255244, filed 2009-01, 19,820 miles“This one seemed to be the most dangerous. On random and unpredictable occasions while making a sharp turn on dry pavement at relatively low speed at approximately 20 MPH the stability system active message or traction active message would be displayed on the driver information center and the car would lose power to all 4 wheels and slow almost to a stop even while the gas pedal was depressed - it would seem to stall in the middle of an intersection! On may 26, 2007 r.c. …”
NHTSA complaint #10196143, filed 2007-07, 500 miles“About 30% of the time I am making a hard right turn, the vehicle stability system kicks in on my car. This happens on dry pavement. The car slows and there is no acceleration for about 2 seconds.”
