Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brakes slammed on and hard left turn initiated. Collision warning light flashed. There was nothing in front of me. Action caused an artery to tear in my lung. Hospitalized with life threating injury. Car had recently received 1st year service. Called dealer service manager to report failure, he said the car could not do this. Car has not been inspected at this time. Lawyer advised not to drive car, but also said his team had no equipment to review failure, needed to be taken to dealer who would probably not work with him. …”
NHTSA complaint #11622099, filed 2024-10“Vehicle suddenly slammed on brakes on highway I90 in Chicago for NO apparent reason at 25mph. The car came to an immediate halt and if not for shoulder cars behind me would have stuck me. I am afraid to drive car. Dealership down plays faulty sensor, car has 2,000 miles. What assurance do I have to trust new sensor. System not redundant. I had no control of my vehicle and my life was at jeopardy. I will not trust.cat. Porsche is aware of issue for years yet nothing done to resolve. Phantom braking concerns litter the internet”
