Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Numerous times while driving, regardless of speed (sometimes on the highway at 75 MPH, others when pulling out from a stop to cross a busy intersection), the vehicle seizes and I lose control of all acceleration and braking mechanisms, while the engine revs and the car slows to almost total stop, with my only hope of swerving into a ditch to avoid being rear ended by the cars and massive mac trucks behind my vehicle, impossible to avoid colliding on the narrow steep rural roads. …”
