I HAD A GRAND MAL SEIZURE WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATED VERY QUICKLY WHEN MY FOOT LOCKED DOWNWARD ON THE GAS AND MY TWELVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD TO GRAB STEERING WHEEL AND TURN US INTO A LIGHTPOLE TO AVOID DRIVING STRAIGHT INTO A BRICK WALL. FULL FRONTAL DAMAGE AT AN EXCESSIVE SPEED IN WHICH THE LIGHTPOLE ALMOST CUT THE CAR IN HALF AND NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED!! CAR IS A COMPLETE TOTAL LOSS AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FRONT OR BACK, DRIVER OR PASSENGER. LOTS OF INJURIES.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
