Example complaints

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

“When attempting to start the vehicle, the brake pedal builds up pressure, sticks, and is not able to be pressed down to start the vehicle. All of the lights will turn on but the engine will not start. The brake lights will not signal at that time as well. In getting a jump start, the vehicle is able to start. After this occurs, while the vehicle is still running, whenever the car is at a stop and the brake is pressed, it shakes intermittently. The battery as well as the brake switch have been tested with the dealership and both are in working order. …”
