Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact owns a 2005 Volvo S60. While attempting to make a right turn at 25 MPH, the vehicle would sporadically stall without warning. The vehicle was able to restart immediately. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. Two weeks later, while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle completely lost power. The failure prevented the contact from safely maneuvering to the side of the road and she could not activate the hazard warning lights. …”
NHTSA complaint #10232369, filed 2008-06, 12,000 miles“Dt: the contact stated there was not enough room between the floor and bottom of the dashboard. There was no way that the contact's husband could get foot to the brake. This almost caused several accidents. There is only 11 inches between the floor and the dashboard . Updated 1/19/2006 - there is little clearance between the pedals and the underside of the dash which resulted in the consumer shoe hitting the underside of the dash limiting his ability to move his foot between the brake pedal and accelerator pedal.”
