Example complaints

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

“If you are slowing down while regenerating, then need to speed up you can't. The active flap system light comes on and makes the car go into a limp mode. It corrects itself about a second or more. Having to speed up for the light that was red and now green created a dangerous situation. I couldn't go.”
