Example complaints

Body and structure: “I was driving in cruise control at 55 MPH on a highway on a dry sunny day. No weather issues. Suddenly, the car accelerated and veered off across three lanes of the highway, across the median, through the guardrail in the median and into oncoming traffic. The brakes locked up and the car continued at high speed back into the median, clipping the guardrail three more times. When I got my senses back, I turned the ignition off and pulled out the key. The car rolled to a stop in the median. …”

Other or unknown: “My vehicle is parked under a shelter. The dash cracked at the corner where the air bag is. If you look on the internet, there to see if there is a recall, you will see that there are thousands with the same problem in the same exact location.”

NHTSA complaint #10871127, filed 2016-05, 122,000 miles

Steering: “On numerous occasions (35 plus times in past 2 months) I have experienced a terrifying complete loss of power to every electronically controlled component of my vehicle. For 3 to 5 seconds I have absolutely no power steering, traction control or headlights. My dashboard display goes blank, all radio and AC display goes off as well as their functions, my door locks repeatidly lock and unlock and my acceleration stalls out. …”
