Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was traveling south bound on the highway going toward the pet store (the destination I wanted to go to). I slowed down with the flow of traffic, I dont recall whether there was a light that was changing or not . Like I said I did slow down and apply my brakes, and that is when I felt something wrong. My vehicle did a jerk which caused me to go in an off handed direction and trying to correct this I swerved to straighten up my vehicle, and it did not work out , I went towards the middle median of the highway road.... I knew I was going to hit the poles in the median. …”
