Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The regenerative brake system failed to operate as it normally does, and no indicator lights came on on the dashboard. This unexpected loss of braking force nearly caused me to hit the car in front of me. I had recently disengaged cruise control and was approaching a red light. I pressed my foot on the brake pedal and felt no response from the car. I lifted my foot and pressed again two or three times with no response, neither deceleration nor any change in the regenerative braking meter on the dashboard. …”
NHTSA complaint #11432875, filed 2021-09“This issue is easily repeatable, when braking if you hit a bump (pot hole, etc.) the braking power is greatly reduced & the brake pedal becomes almost impossible to push down to stop the car, making it very hard to stop even when not coming to an abrupt stop.”
