I WAS STARTING MY CAR TO LEAVE AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD ILLUMINATED THEN WENT OFF. THEN ONLY THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE STAYED ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DISENGAGED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT HAS GONE OUT. *JS

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.
