NHTSA complaint #11746892, filed 2026-06

“I have had to replace my rear brake pads and machine rotors at 15k and 28k miles. I’ve never had to replace my front brakes- the issue is not my driving. I was told not to use my lane assist b/c it wears brakes and have t ever used. In addition the seatbelt warning dings while driving with no person nor anything on the seat. I have to pull off the freeway, turn the car off and restart it to stop the dinging.”
