Example complaints

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

“This past weekend I arrived home late saturday night/early sunday morning to my local, well-lit train station that I use regularly. I locked my car (as I always do) using the remote and made sure that my car beeped before I boarded the train. I arrived home 9 hours later by myself (I'm a petite 29 yr. Female) and as I got to my car (which had condensation on the windows) I pressed the unlock on the remote and opened the door only to find a man sitting inside my driver's seat. I quickly shut the door but the man immediately got out and approached me. …”
