Example complaints

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

“When I use the acc, and the highway is hilly, the acc will engage the fcm (forward collision mitigation), resulting in the brakes being applied, sometimes forcefully, resulting in an immediate slow down of my vehicles speed. This can cause accidents as those around me had to slam on their brakes as well. When going up and down hills, the acc does not work properly. This has occurred many times from the time I bought the vehicle until now.”

“After starting the car, and going in reverse, you can hear a cracking or clicking noise (it's really hard to tell), and sometimes it's really loud, if the brakes or something else was stuck and was about to break a part. It sounds on the read side and in the front side too. You can hear one or 3 clicks. …”

“Stopped at a red light. Light turned green stepped on the gas, truck accelerated. Then began to feel like something wasn't normal, engine began to make quick high and low pitched sounds. Was only going 10mph if that. Tried to step on the brakes and pull over, but the brakes didn't respond. Then tried to step on the gas slightly to pull over, but the gas pedal also didn't respond. I was able to let the truck roll to a stop in the right turning lane, put it in park, and turn on the hazards. Then followed every possible service light came on. The engine never actually stalled. …”
