Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“For several months, the cruise control had only been working intermittently and my brakes seemed rough. The night before I brought my car in, all the lights on the instrument panel came on. On aug 1, 2017, I got a diagnostic and it was the ABS actuator, but I was told I also needed a brake job and an alignment so I went ahead with that $1,000 job. They could not diagnose the cruise control since it was functioning at the time. …”
NHTSA complaint #11045555, filed 2017-11, 168,000 miles“My car was just repaired 6 months ago for this same issue at a cost of over $3,000!!!! Today my husband and son were in the car when the brakes failed and the check vsc warning light came on again!! Luckily they were not in an accident as a result of the failed brakes.”
NHTSA complaint #10562337, filed 2014-01, 64,547 miles“Was in park in parking lot, switched to drive and immediately the brake light illuminated. Then the check vsc message came up on the computer. Proceeded to busy road and turn left, only to find out I had no braking power; other than the parking brake. With some luck and the parking brake I was able to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop. Fortunately it was 5am on my way to work at the hospital, if there was people or other vehicles there would be no way to stop the vehicle safely.”

If there would not have been the tree there I could have run in to the soccer group a few hundred feet away and injured or killed them and me.”
