Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving between 50 - 55 MPH and without warning there was a really hard hit and loud noise that I thought may have been a blow out. It was daylight and no debris in the road that I hit to cause any damage. I had new tires that was approximately 5 months old and 44,000 miles on my vehicle. My insurance sent out people to look into the situation and it seems the right lower control arm and ball joint snapped which in turn cause the whole inside of my tire to be slashed.”
NHTSA complaint #11372398, filed 2020-10, 44,500 miles“I nearly died on 5/8/19 driving my Jeep. I was going about 60mph on the expressway in the far left lane. My sos 🆘 went off on my phone and immediately I lost control of the car and wheels started turn into left and right. There was no more power steering and I had to struggle and force the wheel to the right and left so I wouldn't crash into the divider wall on the left and cars on the right when it would change lanes. This went on for what seemed forever. …”
NHTSA complaint #11207080, filed 2019-05, 22,000 miles“I was traveling south on cambridge rd. As I was approaching a shopping plaza, a vehicle was attempting to exit the parking lot of the plaza also heading south. As the vehicle was attempting to make the left hand turn, it pulled in front of my car, driving me off the road. I had to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting that car, and when I did I crashed into an electrical pole, destroying the entire front end and totaling the car. The airbags did not deploy and this is why I'm filing this report.”
NHTSA complaint #11144724, filed 2018-11, 195 miles“ABS light/Traction light comes on when I break or reverse. When I start up the car it is never on. The car jerks as it shifts to 2wd and I am informed that park sensor is off as well.”
NHTSA complaint #11496853, filed 2022-12“Problem #1: ABS sensor malfunction on all 4 wheels causing vehicle to stall on the highway. I could not accelerate and the whole vehicle was jerking. Huge safety issue. Problem #2: The screen/radio/navigation system malfunctioned while driving. The volume was going up and down, it was calling contacts in my phone, turning on air conditioning and heater, turning on seat warmer and cooler, changing radio/ songs, disconnecting and reconnecting to different bluetooths. Also a huge safety issue, I had to pull over until it stopped. Massive distraction.”
