Example complaints

“I was traveling on the highway at the posted 55mph speed limit when all of the sudden, the vehicle completely shut off. There was no power as if the ignition for the vehicle was completely turned off. With there being no power to the vehicle, I could only allow the momentum of the vehicle roll to the shoulder of the highway away from traffic. I had no use of turn signals or hazard signals. Once I was able to get over safely, I looked at the dashboard and cold only see the battery indicator light on, no other lights were illuminated. …”
NHTSA complaint #10446212, filed 2012-02, 231,037 miles“2001 Oldsmobile Bravada with 48,000 miles on it. The engine literally exploded while we were driving it and needed the engine and several other parts replaced. No reason was given to us by the dearlership for the malfunction. Now october, 27,2003. The electrical system is malfuntioning. The headlights turn off when you turn on the turn signal, the turn signals turns on when you blow the horn. This morning the car was completley dead, can't even take keys out of ignition. The car is only three years old!”
