Example complaints

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

“Car stopped and quickly slowed down without warning. I had very little time to steer car to the side of the road. The rbs/ABS system started slowing the car on its own. I had only been going 30 MPH, however had I been in a center lane on a freeway at 60 MPH, I would have not been able to get it off the road.”
