Example complaints

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

“When I press on the brake to stop, the car accelerates. The harder I press on the brake the more the car wants to accelerate. I have had at least six incidences of this situation in the course of approximations four months. When I brought the car into Jaguar service the first time they returned the car to me saying that there is nothing wrong with the car . When I brought the car to them the second time, I was very specific about how the problem developed. …”
