Example complaints

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

“My car was stationary. I had just drove through a parking lot and stopped to make a left hand turn across two lanes of traffic. Once traffic cleared I accelerated through the first lane but my car would not go faster. My foot was all the way down on the accelerator. At a few seconds and near miss collision my car decided to finally go. It felt like it stalled and I had no control. This only happens in the summer and all I can think of is that the car is getting to hot.”

NHTSA complaint #11004710, filed 2017-07, 67,000 miles
