Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a 2008 Dodge caliber I purchased in september of 2009. I am having a problem with my car stopping when I approach a traffic signal. I have gone right through traffic signals. I was coming off an exit ramp, and it had been snowing. When I applied the brakes the vehicle wouldn't stop, and I almost slid into the side of another vehicle. We both could have been seriously injured.”
