Example complaints

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

“The distronic cruise control is so abrupt in its acceleration and declaration that vehicles behind me tend to take evasive action. The car doesn't sense vehicles far enough ahead to take smooth action, resulting in a jarring, favorite, and fearful ride.”
