Example complaints

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

“Intermittent electrical failure of the advance trak traction control system causes the vehicle to unexpectedly pull to the left or to the right while under acceleration on vehicle speeds above 20 MPH without indication from the tell-tale to the operator to indicate there is a problem or intermittent failure of the traction control system. This unexpected pull to the left or right is violent enough to cause the vehicle to veer across the centerline of a lane, potentially causing a risk to oncoming traffic and well as the operator of the vehicle to become involved in a crash. …”
