Example complaints

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

Unpredictable acceleration when shifting into drive disallows driver from driving cautiously as the unknown variable is distracting and dangerous if in a situation where the car needs to move on command. Vehicle was stationary.”
