Example complaints

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

“I was able to reproduce the issue. When accelerating from a stop, but not yet passing 7 mph (typically 3-5mph registering on the speedometer), then suddenly braking, the brakes do not immediately engage, but rather engage after several seconds have passed. The system/vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle did not stop (as the brakes weren't applied) causing a collision. I am able to reproduce the issue in the vehicle. No inspection has yet taken place. …”
