What owners wrote

I came to an intersection and stopped, then took my foot off the brake before noticing that the light was still red. The other vehicle was roughly 30 feet away when I pushed on the brakes. I should have easily been able to stop. Brakes did not engage and I had been pushing them so hard and for so long that I fractured my ankle. There were not even skid marks at the accident scene. My car had front end frame damage from the accident (totaled), and the airbags never deployed.

To whom it may concern, we have experienced anomalous behavior in our vehicle that we believe is due to malware. We were referred to report this from the public service announcement: [link removed] 1. Our engine will suddenly accelerate and decelerate without our foot pressing on the accelerator to cause this change. It will also slowly change when cruising at a constant speed, the car will increase speed gradually with very light pressure on it. 2.
