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

I WAS DRIVING UP MY DRIVEWAY SLOWLY (LESS THAN 5 MPH), PLANNING TO MAKE A 90-DEGREE LEFT TURN INTO MY GARAGE. AS I APPROACHED THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE BUT BEFORE I REACHED THE POINT WHERE I PLANNED TO TURN, THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I WAS NOT APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR. I HIT THE BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I APPLIED THE BRAKES EVEN HARDER BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING, HIT MY GARBAGE CANS AND RAN OVER THEM, KNOCKED THE FENCE DOWN AND FINALLY STOPPED IN MY BACK YARD. I AM NOT SURE IF THE BRAKES FINALLY OVERRODE THE ACCELERATION OR IF DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR (DUE TO IT RUNNING OVER THE CONCRETE FENCE POST ANCHOR) CAUSED IT TO STOP. PHOTOS AND SECURITY VIDEO SHOW THE CAR LAID DOWN TIRE TRACK MARKS WHILE MOVING VERY SLOWLY. PORSCHE SAYS THERE IS "NO EVIDENCE" THAT THE CAR WAS NOT "OPERATING AS DESIGNED."
