Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Gas pedal is too close to the brake pedal. I often have accelerated depressing the wrong pedal due to the extreme close proximity. While pulling up to the garage hit the gas pedal instead of the breaks and caused both vehicle and garage damage. I have thought to complain about this many times. The front end of the vehicle was damaged and the garage masonry has bricks and block work damage. Two of my wheels have been warped. I have only a medium foot size 10. This is dangerous for anyone.”
NHTSA complaint #10653224, filed 2014-11, 120,000 miles“I was heading to work, I cannot open sliding door to get my daughter into her seat. Have to get her in on the driver's door and have to reach so far and bend to get her buckled in. When I drove off, the door signal on the panel is warning that a door is open. To avoid any accidents, I stop and recheck doors that can open, everything is shut but the signal still states it's open. I cannot check daughter's sliding door because it is still stuck....cannot open nor shut it. …”
