Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving between 10-15 MPH in city traffic the vehicle will accelerate when applying the brake. This has happened twice within a week and the dealership is unable to find anything wrong when taken in by me. I am presently scared to drive the vehicle not knowing when the event may occur again or if it could happen at higher speeds and endanger mine and other lives.”

And beterra for steering recall (now n49/NHTSA 13v-529) previously same recall had two or three different numbers. They have never had the parts and could never perform the recall.
