Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We were driving north bound on 395 about 30 miles south of ritzville, at 3:30 on saturday, may 5th. Clear skies, clear road conditions. Sparse traffic, we were in the outer most lane. Kids were quietly watching dvd in backseat, wife and I were casually talking. No music on, no cellphones, no distractions. All of a sudden, we herd a thunk and the rear tires locked up. I immediately took my foot off the gas and dropped the clutch (manual transmission), however the car was unresponsive. Essentially it was as if I had slammed on the breaks. …”
