Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I rented this car from Enterprise. When I pulled out of the rental car facility, the car lurched forward. I applied the brakes. The car slowed down but did not stop and I rolled out into the street to the right. Enterprise is on the top of the hill and Pacific Coast Highway is at the bottom. The trolley and train tracks are close by. It is my habit to tap the brakes before any tracks even when there are no warning signals. When I tapped the brakes on the Taos, there was no response. Once I was over the tracks, I applied the brakes again and again, with no response. …”
NHTSA complaint #11740764, filed 2026-05“The brake pedal failed and went to the floor; the vehicle would not brake. The service center identified the issue as a problem with the master cylinder.
