Example complaints

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

“Area near the gas pedal gets extremely hot, as well as the wall to the right of the gas pedal. It's hot enough that I can't lean a bare foot against it.. Too hot. This could be dangerous as a driver could inadvertently rest his foot on the wall, and be surprised by the extreme heat, jerk their foot away and possible hit the gas pedal.”
