Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Had a flat tire and had to install the spare tire that came with vehicle. As soon as I got back on the road , the stability control light, the ABS light and the I-p brake light came on. The car would get only 35 MPH. For about 7 to 8 miles, then picked up speed so I could run 50 MPH. Until I had the tire replaced. After I had the tire replaced I took the car to a mechanic to have the system reset so the lights would return to normal. The unit that controls this had to be replaced because the difference in tire size had destroyed the control unit. …”
