“On August 20, 2026, at approximately 7:54 AM during the daytime, I was driving approximately 5–9 mph up a dimly lit parking garage ramp, turning left into my usual parking spot for work on the ramp. My car’s front end had already cleared a cement column on my right, so I was pleasantly parking. Suddenly, the front-end collision assist malfunctioned, activating when it shouldn't have, and violently pushed my right front tire into the cement column, whipping the steering wheel around immediately fracturing the radius bone in my dominant right forearm. …”
NHTSA complaint #11768523, filed 2026-10“I am having a problem with my brakes sticking. After it has been sitting all night, the brake pedal will be stiff and I’m unable to push it down much to start it. Once it’s started it thumps almost like the parking brake was set but I haven’t used it and I park on flat land. When I’m sitting in park, it’s idling as though I’m pushing the gas…the speed accelerates especially on curvy roads where I brake more frequently. The rotors have been scored for some time. Dealership blames it on them getting heated up. I drove to work and home 15 minutes each way. …”
NHTSA complaint #11767572, filed 2026-09“About 4 weeks ago I began to notice my brakes grabbing and they have gotten worse. I read that there may be a glitch in the internal rod position sensor calibration within the Electronic Contact Module ( EBCM).I wasn’t told if they put car on computer to update / calibrate the module software. I read nothing in paper work I received that anything was done with my brakes. When I drove it home today the brakes grabbed. My biggest concern or scare is that I almost had a catastrophic head on collision. In addition to that I had 7 near misses. This happens when the car is hot or cold. …”
NHTSA complaint #11774341, filed 2026-10“The contact rented a 2025 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that, while her husband was driving at 25 MPH on a decline and attempting to slow the vehicle upon approaching a curve in the road, the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floorboard but failed to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. As a result, the driver briefly lost control of the vehicle, only coming to a complete stop after colliding with the vehicle ahead. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. …”
