Brakes: “The car had a mind of it's own when I was backing out a parking spot it wouldn't allow me to press down the brake(like the ABS was fighting me) to stop before it shortly crashed into a concrete pillar and then when I put it in drive it took off on me and crashed/stopped into a fence again wouldn't press down the brake to allow me to stop it before it crashed into a guard railing/fence. I quickly turned it off and back on before trying to back out of the crash and it acted fine after that. …”

Other or unknown: “While driving through downtown atlanta (moderate speed), on a saturday (no construction), and nowhere near any overpass (falling objects), our unopened sunroof exploded. We heard a loud bang , and thought we had suffered a tire blowout, followed by another loud noise a few seconds later and could see something in the rear view mirror flying off the back of the roof. When we were able to pull over and stop, we found the glass in our sunroof had disintegrated.”
