“Faulty radar on front of my car caused speed control and emergency braking system to malfunction while in motion. This occurred sporadically since new and then constantly for last 3 months. I finally took the car in for troubleshooting last week and the radar unit on the front of the car was replaced. This fixed the problem but it should be brought to someones attention because of the safety hazards involved.”
NHTSA complaint #11207263, filed 2019-05, 2,000 miles“I pulled into a chick-fil-a drive thru. This fast food chain has employees outside that come to your car and take your order. The guy that came to me asked me if something was wrong with my car. He said it sounds like the engine is racing. I didn't recognize it until he mentioned it. While I was sitting in the line waiting to pick up my food, I noticed the engine wasn't racing as bad as it had been. While I was sitting in the drive thru line, the car accelerated and took off. I lost control of the car. I hit another car as the car left the parking lot and ran into their fence. …”
