Example complaints

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

“I was driving the car on the freeway with the cruise control on when it started to rapidly decelerate and pull back to a standstill. I pushed the accelerator but nothing would stop the deceleration. I had to pull over to the side of the freeway since the car eventually stopped and pushed the button to turn off the cruise control. After a few minutes, I fellt that I could reenter traffic and was able to do so but without the cruise countrol engaged. I took it into the dealer who indicated that they could find nothing. …”
