Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There is something wrong with either the acceleration, electrical or throttle. While parking the vehicle and applying the breaks, the vehicle speed forward at high speed and would not stop even with applying the breaks. It crashed me and my daughter into a brick building at high speed. The witness said he had never seen anything like it before and he was a mechanic and auto body specialist. He said we went from almost in the stop position to high speed like a crash test dummy vehicle. This all occurred in a small parking lot in the city. …”
NHTSA complaint #11337325, filed 2020-07, 50,900 miles“I was driving and came to a red light behind other cars. I was completely stopped with brakes applied and vehicle suddenly lurched forward, RPM’s reved up over 3,000 without me accelerating. I was about two blocks from home and was able to make it by slowly driving and jerking all the way. Mechanic codes were 720 output speed sensor. Very alarming situation! I could have easily hit the car in front of me if I would have been any closer, or worst yet a pedestrian! Appears to be critical safety issue and something that may need to be recalled.”
