Example complaints

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

“While driving, the four way flashers started blinking, the horn started blowing and the headlights went from light to dim. The consumer felt this may be the result of a faulty alarm system. This happened a number of times before the accident.”

NHTSA complaint #10017445, filed 2003-12, 52,000 miles

“I started to brake my vehicle well before a red traffic light. In the line of traffic, I was braking firmly but my vehicle would not come to a complete stop. At the red traffic light, my vehicle kept bumping a bmw in front of me. I began honking my horn for the driver of the other vehicle to move forward, but she did not. With my foot constantly on the brake, I put my vehicle into park. When I did that, it accelerated more. A man in a truck in the next lane saw that I was having difficulty braking, so he shouted taht I should turn off my ignition. I did. The vehicle finally stopped. …”
