Example complaints

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

“Vehicle brakes won't work when braking on a bumpy road or highway. Vehicle wont stop on top on a bump that is on the road. When in motion, when trying to make a sudden stop on a bump that it is on the road, vehicle brakes will slide and not stop. Either on city or highway roads. I am concerned that when I am speeding and I have to make a sudden stop to avoid hitting another car in front of me I will end up crashing into them if there is a bump ahead of me, my brakes wont work and brakes will slide and not work. …”
