Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have noticed that when driving over rough road, or after an abrupt pothole, all electronics in the car will shut off. After about five minutes a reset will start and, even though I'm still driving, all the dash lights and test will go through the cycle usually reserved for when I start the car. If I happen to turn off the car while it is in this sort of outage, it will require a jump to start. The radio will forget its stations, and the clock will need to have the time set again. …”
