Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle was in motion pulling into driveway to park in garage and vehicle would not stop correctly, almost resulting in me hitting my garage door pillar. As I backed up, started to pull forward into my garage stall, vehicle break pedal was hard and car would not stop, again almost hitting my front wall. Same thing happens going in reverse. Brake power would come and go. Feels as though front right break would lock but not stop, and eventually all stopping power would go away.”

NHTSA complaint #11642493, filed 2025-02, 43,000 miles“The brake pedal is severely closer than the accelerator from the driver. When trying to stop quickly, the driver has to lift foot substantially to shift over to apply pressure to the brake. This is extremely dangerous and terribly uncomfortable. The foot pedals, even with the adjustments, are too close to the driver.”
