Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On saturday morning, at about 11:40 am, the temperature was 31 degrees f, and I'd noticed the dew point was at 33 degrees, according to accu-weather. It was somewhat sunny, and there was very little frozen precipitation floating through the air. We had just left home and drove two miles through stops and starts through local residential roads. After turning left at a stop sign after driving about 1.5 miles, the road went into a straightaway. I gently accelerated, as I usually do. The speed control was not turned on. …”
