Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car accelerates when I press on the brake. I have complained to the dealer about this is october 2018 and today april 2019. This is a pre-accident complaint. When I drive in stop and go traffic it feels like the ABS brake motor is trying to make the car go faster instead of stopping the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11195710, filed 2019-04, 35,500 miles“When I press the brakes the car accelerates. I have had a data recorder attached when this happened, but the dealer says that it didn't record anything.-- this happens intermittently---, while in slow traffic as I pump the brakes. Specifically : the RPM actually increased as the car made the ABS grinding sound and increased the velocity of the car. I had to quickly put the car in neutral to get control of the vehicle. The dealer service agent states that they cannot guarantee that any repair will resolve the issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11256563, filed 2019-09, 35,550 miles“I was parking and barely moving with my foot in the brake when the vehicle suddenly reved up loudly. I had to depress the brake heavily to keep it from moving forward and put it in neutral. The vehicle continued to rev hard until I turned off the engine.”
NHTSA complaint #11535382, filed 2023-07“On city streets, the car accelerates when I press the brake pedal. The RPM increases and I am certain that I was not pressing the gas pedal. Universal attached a black box to the car but has refused to share the data. The latest service was done recently.”
NHTSA complaint #11233856, filed 2019-07“I backed out of driveway towards the south to head north on public way. Vehicle immediately started accelerating backwards (south) without assistance, quickly getting out of control. No amount of pressure on my part would make the brakes work and there was no control of the steering. The vehicle was no longer under my control and crashed backwards into a large tree which held it from crashing farther, and a small tree on the side which held it from rolling down into a brook. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request and I would prefer that it be inspected. …”
