This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This car accelerated suddenly and spontaneously while I was shifting from reverse to drive;the brakes had no effect in slowing the car down and I had to crash into a concrete post to stop the car and avoid hitting other cars and pedestrians. The car is totaled and I am lucky to have survived.

When driving at 45 mph vehicle veered to the right and lifted up, and all power went to the front side. Consumer applied ABS brakes, and vehicle wouldn't stop, causing vehicle to skid and run into a house. Upon impact, driver's side and passenger's side air bags didn't deploy.
When sitting at a light with foot on brakes, brakes go straight to the floor, and vehicle is moving forward. Also, when consumer is driving and if another vehicle stops in front of the consumer, and consumer applies the brakes, vehicle won't stop.
