Example complaints

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

“I was driving to work just gotten off the freeway in the city of cerritos and all of a sudden a warning came on and said steering loss stop safely and then it locked up and pulled to the right. I almost hit the car next to me but was lucky. I was able to get it to the side of the road using all my strength but it was terrifying and someone could have really been injured or worse. I have only had it 2 and 1/2 years”

NHTSA complaint #11205542, filed 2019-05, 84,000 miles

“My initial complaint was posted on 06/19/2015, the day of my terrifying experience. Mistakenly, I filed the complaint under the regular focus model and not the electric. Last friday, I just charged my car to 100% at work. Later, I was driving home at 40 MPH with no problems until I was about to hit my first right turn. I attempted to turn on the street leading me to the 210 w freeway. While turning right, the steering wheel jerked and froze up and did not allow me to make a full turn. …”
