Example complaints

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

“At first, when I started the car, it had trouble turning on, so I waited a while to try again and it did. While I was driving it smelled like something was burning and I noticed that both the ABS and brake light when off. I pulled over on the side of the highway and turned off the car. I go to turn it on again and it just didn't after that.”

NHTSA complaint #11150000, filed 2018-11, 112,000 miles

“Two days ago my ABS and ESC light came on, I have also noticed since then I have no cruise control. In the winter here the roads are quite sick, and the antilock brakes that are on this vehicle no longer function. When I was driving into work and came to a stop light, I tried to stop and kept sliding as a result.”

“Earlier this year, my ABS light came on in my car. I scanned it and pulled a code indicating that that right front wheel speed sensor had gone bad. I replaced the sensor, and cleared the code. A few months later, while driving during a thunderstorm, the light came back on. I scanned my car again, and the same code came up. The next day, after the weather was clear, the light had gone back off. Now, any time it rains or gets very cold, the light comes back on.”

“I had a auto accident I feel was caused by this brake recall. My brakes have failed again. Luckly no one else was at stop sign. I called immediately when I hot the notice and they can not fix my brakes until aug 31 I was on a city street each time”

“The first day drove this brand new Dodge Journey to work. And came back with the hood released. The only thing it could happen was I accidentally touch the hood release handle when I apply/release the parking brake, because they are too closed. It is a really bad design.”
