Example complaints

“I was slowly pulling into my garage to park. When I pressed on the parking break, the car revved to full speed, slammed into garage and would not respond to the brakes, or any attempt to turn off the ignition or to control the car, including failure of the automatic emergency braking, forward collision or parking collision to function, even though they were all turned on. …”
NHTSA complaint #11376459, filed 2020-11, 15,500 miles“On sunday night (11/10/19) around 5:15 pm, I was driving down the left lane of a 2-lane highway at ~55 MPH. The closest vehicle was no less than 5 car lengths ahead of me. Randomly, the orange brake light came on in the dash and the car automatically slammed on the brakes almost to a complete stop causing my head to jolt forward. Luckily the car behind me was able to stop as I started to accelerate again. I believe there was nothing in front of me or on the road that should have caused this safety feature to engage. This was very dangerous and scary. …”
