Example complaints

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

“I had a strange incident with my 2005 Mazda 6 s 4-cylinder automobile. I am reporting this in case there might be a pattern that results in further investigation. The context is with respect to the automobile's traction control system. I was driving on a wet road where the rain had stopped about an hour earlier. There was no standing water as the rain had been light anyway. I was on a three-lane (6-lanes total) narrow divided highway going about 45 MPH. From the middle lane, I was entering the left lane as a fast driver in that lane passed by me. …”
