Example complaints

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

“I was pulling out of a parking lot when suddenly the car reported a problem with the braking system along with a number of other warnings. I lost all acceleration as I entered an intersection. I power cycled the car a couple of times before it returned to normal, and I was able to continue driving.”

NHTSA complaint #11616098, filed 2024-09

“On 6/25/2023, my vehicle’s gas pedal and acceleration system completely stopped working mid-drive without warning. The car coasted to a stop. After shutting off the car and restarting, the gas pedal worked again. I brought the car to my dealer, Bernardi Honda in Natick. They found “loss of communication codes,” but since they couldn’t replicate the issue, no repairs were made and I was given the car back.”

NHTSA complaint #11607475, filed 2024-08

“All of a sudden, the accelerator pedal stopped working --- all I really know is that the car wouldn't accelerate, regardless of how much I pressed on the pedal, and the car had to roll to a stop. A bunch of warning lights came on about the brakes malfunctioning, but I don't remember if the brakes actually stopped working (I was more focused on the fact that I couldn't accelerate --- this happened right as I was starting to move after a red light turned green). …”

NHTSA complaint #11622003, filed 2024-10

“Summary: vehicle shutdown while my wife was driving 25 MPH, lost all engine propulsion and brakes failed. Thankfully, she was driving in community/residential street and could pull over safely, rolling to a stop in a side lot. If she were at higher speeds or on a freeway, my wife and others could have been seriously injured. Details: Alerts for the brakes system Brakes system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer and one involving tire pressure (cannot recall the exact message) came on at 35 MPH. …”

NHTSA complaint #11577259, filed 2024-03

“On three separate occasions (the most recent of which was on Saturday), my vehicle’s dashboard lit up with various alerts, including “Brake System problem”, “TPMS problems”, and “Vehicle stability assist system problems”. At the same time, the vehicle’s accelerator completely stopped working. The issue would only resolve itself (and the alerts would go away) after I pulled over and restarted the vehicle twice. This issue happened on Saturday (on a highway), in March 2024 (driving out of a parking lot), and in February 2024 (on the highway). …”
