Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“With the last incident being 2 days ago, I finally had a chance to take my car to the shop today. They said they could find no problem. I have had about 5 incidents over the last 4 years of unintended acceleration when my foot was on the brake. One time recently it happened on a flat road as I was approaching a very busy intersection. Luckily I was able to turn into the flow of traffic, cutting some one off but no collision took place. Two days ago it happened again when my car should have been stopped on a hill facing down the hill. …”
