MY BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY CAR. I WAS AT A DRIVE-UP ATM AND SLOWLY APPROACHED THE MACHINE WHEN THE JERKED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES AND I COULD NOT STOP IT. I TRIED TO ENGAGE THE HANDBRAKE AND THAT DID NOT STOP MY CAR. THE CAR DROVE ACROSS A DRIVEWAY, JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT A STONE WALL. THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED.

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.
