Example complaints

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

“I was backing out of my driveway and backed into a vehicle parked directly behind me. The collision avoidance and emergency braking system should have stopped my car before impact but it did not. No sounds other than the normal backing up beeping. Proximity alert did not ping. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The safety feature of collision avoidance and emergency breaking did not work. No, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. …”

“Incident took place 1/31/26. I was pulling into my driveway at approximately 5 mph. Normally, as I approach the wooden driveway gate, sensors would begin to beep and I would be prompted to stop.The car normally would stop itself if a collision was imminent. This did not take place. Instead, the car picked up speed, smashed through the gate proceeded up the driveway, smashed through the garage door and the rear wall of the garage. I was alone and uninjured, but the structure was yellow tagged and there was severe damage to the contents. Airbags were not deployed. …”

“There are alot of electrical malfunctions including unnecessary and without warning emergency breaking that has injured me ( I temporarily have a rental car to recover from a right thoracic sprain, left hip contusion, and a right anterior chest contusion- I have medical documentation), the steering wheel jerking when no correction needed, the vehicle locking up on the tow truck driver, and a lot of different electrical malfunctions that seem to indicate a bigger problem. I have more evidence, but it would not let me submit more pictures.”

“I got into my car in a hurry i put my car in drive as i was closing my driver's door and took off and because the door wasn't fully closed the parking brake engaged itself but the power over comes the parking brake, when i let off the throttle the rear wheels locked up causing the car to slide out of control. I pushed on the throttle again to unlock the rear wheels causing me to swerve in the other lane and almost crash into an incoming car. I tried to turn off the brake and could not without stopping the car so i had to skid out of control again stopping to turn it off.”
