“Approx 1:00 p.m. I pulled into the wendy's drive through and the line was wrapped around the building. There was a large like ford truck in front of me. I sat there maybe 1 min and I thought felt my car jump (and I thought 'what was that'), then the truck pulled up and the second I removed my foot from the brake, my car felt like an airplane and I plowed into the truck in front of me (I had no control). My car kept going until he it knocked him out of the line of the drive through line and my car kept going across the parking lot then up onto the curb, but it stopped before hitting a tree. …”
NHTSA complaint #11301049, filed 2020-01, 11,225 miles“While waiting for a light to change I noticed a puff of smoke coming from under the hood of my car on the passenger side. It quickly turned into billows of smoke. My sister and I quickly got my grandchildren out of the car and over to a safe area. The smoke became dark brown and then black and burst into flames. Luckily the fire department was very prompt. However, the vehicle filled with smoke and the windshield burst out. This car had only 13,000 kms. It was a very frightening vent and my family's safety was severely compromised.this has been reported to department of transport in canada”
