Example complaints

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

“I was sitting at a light with a car in front of me. The car in front of me started moving so I accelerated slowly and my car started beeping and then the breaks locked up. I was not too close to the car in front of me so I am worried as to why this happened. If there had been a car behind me, they probably would have hit us my car stopped so quickly.”

“I am driving forward at 55 MPH on a main road in the city. There were absolutely no cars in front, on sides, or behind me. Then warning flashes on dash quickly and immediately after warning display my car slammed to a stop. I was slammed forward into the steering wheel. It was the automatic braking system that is malfunctioning apparently.”
