Example complaints

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

“I own a 2003 Ford Mustang Gt. When accellerating in slush type conditions the traction control kicked in and killed all power to the car which left me sitting across two lanes of traffic on a very busy highway. If I had not thought to turn off the traction control button my two children and myself could have been seriuosly injured. The traction control should not kill all power to the car!”
