Example complaints

“When driving vehicle and making a left turn, there is a loud sound what sounds like rubbing coming from rear tires. Took it in for an oil change and tire rotation in which the mechanic couldn't find an issue. Three days later I received a notification on my screen stating to service the parking break.”
NHTSA complaint #11310008, filed 2020-02, 23,000 miles“While pulling through a fast food drive-thru, I applied the brakes and brake assist illuminated on the dashboard. This resulted in reduced braking with the ABS module pulsating. Once at a complete a stop the brakes were still applied although my foot was not pressing the brakes. Giving the vehicle gas let the brakes release. The dealership said they could not duplicate the problem. It happened again and it was driven directly to the dealership with the light on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10949843, filed 2017-02, 6,000 miles“'incident #1: on june 15, 2018, after making my normal commute to and from work, I arrived home. Later that evening, when I tried to start my car, I was not able to start it at all. I was unable to figure out what the issue was and had to have it towed back to the dealership. It turned out that the issue was the starter - an issue that should definitely not need to be of concern to a new car owner. While I was provided with a loaner car, I was highly inconvenienced during my father's day weekend. …”
NHTSA complaint #11105045, filed 2018-07, 20,890 miles“I was at a red light waiting to make a turn and once the green light came on I stepped on the gas. I was about to stop at the next red light and my brakes wouldn't work. A metal noise can be heard as I stepped on the brake. The closer I got I kept stepping all the way down the brake pedal. The brake assist light came on. I pulled over and gave the brakes a few pumps and still wouldn't break until I shut the car and turned back on. I released the handle break on and off. Also stepped on the brakes and everything went back to normal. …”
NHTSA complaint #11325679, filed 2020-05, 51,000 miles“Around 3/2/2021 I received a dash warning light for the electronic parking brake indicating some form of malfunction. The electronic parking brake began to stay on once set and when I would accelerate a bit, it would release. Thereafter the rear brakes and calipers completely locked up while sitting in my garage and would not move. I had to have it towed out of my garage and to a Chevrolet dealership for repair. …”
