Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving on the interstate, the car lost power steering and power brakes, making the vehicle very difficult to maneuver. Fortunately, there were no cars immediately nearby, otherwise this could have been a very different description. The car was towed to a dealership. They reported that they believe this is due to a faulty cell in the vehicle's auxiliary (12V) battery. There was no warning or symptom of this prior to the loss of power steering and power brakes.”
