Example complaints

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

“On 2/7/16, I was pulling into my parking space at work. My foot was on the brake as I was coming to a stop in my space. All of a sudden, the engine revved loudly, and the car lunged forward, jumped the curb and slammed into the office building!!!! I had no control even though my foot was pushing on the brake as hard as I could. My 5 year old daughter was in the car with me, and to think of what could have happened petrifies me. This malfunction has to be investigated and resolved. …”

“I just came off the highway where I almost got killed by a big, long white trailer truck because my vehicle failed to stop at a red light, the brake did not budge, it happened so fast, it feels like the brake was stuck, so I got out of the intersection and steered my way to safety only there was no where for me to safely stop because the ramp took me to i95 s which is very busy. I took the car home safely and parked it. My point is I have been complaining to the dealership about this same issue and nobody is listening. …”

“We purchased out 2016 Nissan Rogue in february of 2017. It only has ~14k miles on it and the rotors have already warped. We took it to gainesville Nissan and all they did was turn the rotors and state that Nissan does not consider the essentially new rotors to be faulty. The webster's dictionary definition of faulty is as follows: marked by fault or defect :imperfect. The rotors are essentially new and turning them very much limits the lifetime of the part. The rotors and pads should be replaced to make sure we are safe. There is no reason for these low mileage rotors to have warped. …”

“Car feb brakes when no other cars around and sets off malfunction light. Does during turns or while driving straight. Again, this occurs when no other cars are present. A review of internet show a couple class action lawsuits for front end braking system doing this. It occurs in the middle of driving for no reason. Luckily no wreck.”

“Auto was parked in driveway, facing garage (door opened). When I turned on ignition to place car in garage it accelerated without warning. My hard braking had no effect and car went through garage knocking out the back wall and a large portion of cement block foundation.”
