Example complaints

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

“After feeling that my brakes hadn't worked properly at a stop light (I almost skid through it), I was traveling about 35 MPH around a curve and lightly pressed on the brakes to make sure I would slow down. Unbelievably, my brakes completely failed and I actually believe I sped up while at the same time my steering went out of control. I was unable to control or stop the car. After a few seconds I was able to pull off to the right and mud slowed me down enough to come to a stop. …”

NHTSA complaint #10470405, filed 2012-08, 25,000 miles

“2010 Lexus GX 460 driven by my wife. At approx 30 MPH the brakes were applied hard to avoid a car changing lanes and the vehicle entered an immediate left skid without wheels skidding due to braking. The brake pressure was released when a it was apparent a collision would be avoided and the vehicle made a violent jerking return to straight travel. This occurred on dry pavement and easily could have LED to a serious accident. No accident happened only due to my wife's driving skills. Appears the stability control did not work as advertised.”
