Example complaints

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

“I was slowly ( < 5mph) approaching a stoplight at a busy intersection in a 25 MPH zone on a 4 lane street there were 2 vehicles ahead of me. Everything seemed fine until my vehicle suddenly accelerated rapidly and I was unable to stop it. The path of least resistance was to drive it into the car in front of me and not to swerve. Once I had stopped and caught my breath, I put the car into reverse to back away from the car I had hit, and once again the car rapidly accelerated backward into the car behind me. Until this time I have had absolutely no problems with the vehicle. …”
