Example complaints

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

“I accidentally backed into a concrete barrier pulling out of a parking spot. I put the car in drive, intended to pull back into my spot, took my foot off the brake and the car accelerated so quickly that I crashed into a ford truck 2-3' in front of me. The acceleration was so quick, and the impact so strong, I felt like I was in a rocket ship and my license plate was impaled on the truck. This was the third time this has happened since I purchased the vehicle in october 2017. The first time, I was parking in my garage. I was slowly moving my way in when the car accelerated. …”
