Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Y car accelerates too fast at certain times, like at intersections. It accelerates too quickly that my tires screech like I pressed the gas petal all the way down. This happens when I have the brake pressed and then put my foot on accelerator. This happens pretty much every day but not every time. Finally, I should mention that all my cars have been having problems since we moved and rented a house from my ex-landlord paul, who is a mechanic.”
NHTSA complaint #10966693, filed 2017-03, 89,000 miles“Every time the vehicle gets a complete fill up of fuel. When I drive off onto the highway, the vehicle starts acting very erratic and hesitates severely. It happens every time and is very dangerous. I have read online that this issue has happened to many others as well.”
NHTSA complaint #10705039, filed 2015-04, 110,000 miles“I have a 2005 Chrysler Town And Country it started with my locks stopping working I disconnected it and than it worked for a couple of weeks than it would go out again. Now my ABS and traction control light came on and quit working for a week now the light went out and works I tried the battery thing again but did not work. I'm afraid the computer may stop working when diving. I only have 48,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10312476, filed 2010-02, 30,000 miles“While accelerating under cruise control , the brake pedal becomes unusable and the car cannot be slowed down or stopped unless you turn off the control. This is something you do not have time to do in a panic situation. I have complained about this since day one. The dealership has not been able to duplicate the incidents, and has no information on what may cause it let alone how to fix it. I have had passengers see me use both feet on the brake pedal in an attempt to slow down. Please note that this happens while driving within speed limits and under good driving conditions. …”
NHTSA complaint #10184284, filed 2007-03, 36,200 miles“1-reported vibration in steering wheel between 20-50 MPH [2-possible exhaust leak, I was getting sleepy after 20-30 min drive time, I use recycle mode on A/C due to having asthma [ 3-reported noise from the muffler/exhaust area[4- A/C compressor makes a laboring noise [5-vibration and a growling noise in rear suspension, axle or transmission[6-transmission seems to slip or jerk into and out of gear between 15-45 MPH. Service department could not duplicate any of my concerns but by the same token my mileage out was the same as my mileage in so I'm not sure it was even driven. …”
