Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving eastbound on route 20 near oberlin, ohio I hit a pothole which was large enough to make my car swerve. The pothole was unavoidable because a car was driving past me in the other lane and at that point. No matter how far I would have gone to the right (near the white line) to avoid it, I would have still hit it. Luckily there was no one behind the vehicle passing me when I hit the pothole or else I would have been involved in an accident. …”
