Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On 6/3/2019 at 12 noon, it has sudden runaway acceleration. We had stopped on the curb outside our home and then started driving slowly in EV mode turning into our driveway, and all of a sudden, it accelerated hard by itself, hit another car in the driveway, and then hit the corner of the house after going over some shrubbery. There was no time to hit the brakes; it all happened suddenly. This is clearly unintended runaway acceleration, and this make/model/year needs to be recalled before anyone gets injured or dies. This is serious”
NHTSA complaint #11217545, filed 2019-06, 55,000 miles“My brand new es300h shows different milauge capacity each time I fill the tank. When I purchased it brand new it showed the driving range of 675 miles with full tank. Since then it has been continuously dropping by 20 to 30 miles each time I fill it up. Now I will be lucky if I can get even 500 miles range. I showed it to two different dealers in dallas, texas area. They both claim that the car is adjusting to my driving style (that indirectly means I am a bad driver). It has been 3.5 months since I purchased it and it is still dropping. …”
