Example complaints

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

“I no longer own this vehicle, but it was a 1996 Toyota Corolla, and I hope the information I provide here can help somehow with any current investigations. Around 100,000 miles, I took my car to a non-dealer mechanic to replace my timing belt as a matter of maintenance. After this replacement, my cruise control never worked again, and I noticed that in moments of deceleration (either in braking or coasting) that the engine would suddenly race and I could feel the gas pedal pull from its resting position. …”
