Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving on I-70 just outside of breckenridge colorado, at approximately mile marker 228, going uphill at a speed of 65 MPH. Traffic was rather light and I was behind a car with another passing me on the left side, on this 2-lane portion of the interstate. When instantly, the truck accelerated from 65 to 100 MPH within 5 seconds. The jolt threw me back into my seat and I had to take immediate actions not to hit any of the cars around me. My brakes did not respond. I could not get the truck out of gear and turning the truck off made no difference. …”
