Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Crash reported

IT WAS A RAINY DAY. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED. I DID ALSO. MY BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND ALTHOUGH I WAS PRESSING ON THEM. THE CAR STARTED SKIDDING AND WOULDN'T STOP. I CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS SLIGHT. LUCKILY WE BOTH HAD INSURANCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ONCE BEFORE, ALSO WHEN IT WAS RAINING. I HIT A CURB THAT TIME. AT NO TIME DURING THESE TWO INCIDENTS WAS I DRIVING AT AN EXCESSIVE SPEED. THE CAR JUST REFUSED TO STOP.
