Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car hesitated from a stop sign, then launched forward causing it to uncontrollably jump forward very fast. When I went to hit the brakes they failed to active, and had to pull the e brake. The car has had a software update for the TCM on my dct transmission but the problem seems to not be able to be fixed. This is very dangerous, and could cause a major accident or death.”

No obvious signs of brake wear or replacement needs. No indicator sounds.”

Sometimes feels like the car is going to stop if I don't press the gas is really not a good experience nobody like to drive my car they said the suspension is horrible and not a good experience on transmission.”
NHTSA complaint #11390071, filed 2021-01“Brakes intermittently malfunction - when issue occurs, brake pedal will loosely sink to floor without slowing the car down and will only engage suddenly when the pedal is pressed all the way to the bottom. Safety of driver, other drivers, and pedestrians are put at risk because the car cannot be reliably stopped. In the latest incident, the driver could not get the brakes to engage and had to swerve the vehicle into the sidewalk to avoid pedestrians. The malfunction occurs randomly, mostly in stop-and-go situations (traffic, stop signs, parking lot, traffic lights, etc.). …”
