Example complaints
Brakes: “I drove to work in the morning with no warning lights on the car and it operated fine. After leaving work for the day, I pulled out of the parking lot on to the main road and then the brake light, master failure light, ABS light and another light lit up on the dash and I pushed the brake to stop the vehicle to figure out what was going on and the brake did not stop the car, so I push the brake as hard as I could to get it to stop and it stuttered about 10 times before coming to a complete stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10926468, filed 2016-11, 33,000 milesBody and structure: “I have a Toyota camry 2011 hybrid model, I hear a knocking sound coming from the roof. I took it to the dealership and they said it is the problem with the moon roof. It is most persistent when driving on the uneven street pavement. According to the dealer, the headliner needs to be replaced and it will cost about $600. This car was never involved in any accidents and I hardly used the moon roof. I believe this is a manufacturing defect and should be reported.”
NHTSA complaint #10650068, filed 2014-10, 60,000 milesVehicle speed control: “On 9/7/13, while accelerating onto route 80 in nj, I pushed the gas pedal to the floor, the accelerator stuck flat on the floor. I had to swerve to avoid hitting the car in front of me. Fortunately nobody was next to me. I was finally able to use the side of my foot to pop it back up. It performed normally after that, though I did not push it to the floor again.”
NHTSA complaint #10542552, filed 2013-09, 33,500 milesVisibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “Driver side sun visor became loose and did not retain its position. It dropped down and blocked my vision causing me to veer off the road. Sun visor then detached completely from hinge. Cat now has no way to block sun and I have to drive one handed to block the sun light.”
