Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car accelerated while I was making a panic stop my foot was on the brake and no brakes were being activated and the car actually sped up until I pushed in the clutch. By that time it was too late and I tapped the car in front of me. I believe this happened due to the cars esp feature which senses driver input and helps to make the correct actions to avoid aa loss of control. I jammed on my brakes after hard acceleration and while pushing the brake pedal I jerked the steering wheel. …”
