Example complaints

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

“When coming to a stop with the AutoHold activated, sometimes it comes to an abrupt stop instead of a smooth stop. Also when you have Autohold engaged, when you come to a stop and put the car in park, disconnect the seatbelt the parking brake engages(expected), however when you turn the car off (after you've already removed your foot from the break pedal) it slightly releases and reengages the brake causing a slight movement of the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11482659, filed 2022-09
