Example complaints

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

“When I drive at 60mph and higher my 2009 5 door liftback yaris with electronically assisted steering that I bought new, it has a dangerous tendency to wander. If I look away for a second, the car wanders and has often done so into other lanes. This has happened about 10 times in the year that I have owned it. I have had to adjust my driving habits to reduce the amount of times that this happens otherwise it would have happened many more times. The habits that I practice to avoid this are to pay constant attention to the road ahead of me so I don't wander out of my lane. …”
