Example complaints

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

“Putting this car into park will normally automatically set the parking brake. Earlier that day, it did not set the brake. I assumed I must have hit some button or something on my dash to cause that. But then on the freeway, the car (for want of a better term) started wiggling and I found it hard to control it with the steering wheel. It stopped doing that for a few seconds, and then immediately happened again. As I started to change lanes to move toward the right side of the freeway, it did it a third time but it was worse and I had no control at all. …”
