Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When turning at slow speeds, the active suspension will either activate or force a dic message service active handling system. Sometimes, this occurs simultaneously with ABS activation of the brakes. This has caused me to drive into head- on lanes, or forced me to stop in moving traffic without brake lights. It seems worse in cold or wet weather. Restarting the car will reset the display.”
NHTSA complaint #11217531, filed 2019-06, 120,000 miles“My Corvette is experiencing brake/ stability control/ traction control issues. The first time I apply the brakes after starting the car they pedal vibrates, the brakes feel ineffective, and the car disables anti-lock brakes, active handling, and traction control. The lights reset after shutting the vehicle off and starting it again, only for all these systems to disable upon the first stop.”
NHTSA complaint #10564731, filed 2014-02, 57,021 miles“Attempting to enter an expressway entrance ramp, I accelerated the vehicle to avoid a car closing rapidly from behind. The car was heading straight and I made no steering input to the the rear end abruptly moved to the right and I was unable to countersteer sufficiently to avoid hitting a vehicle in the lane to my right. This initial collision caused further loss of control within my vehicle and the other vehicle, and we collided a second time.”
