Although Toyota has been in the spotlight recently, “unintended acceleration has been a problem across the auto industry, according to an NPR analysis of consumer complaints to federal regulators.” According to the NPR News investigation, other automakers, including  Volkswagen, Volvo and Honda, have had significant complaint rates for some of their models. “The analysis covers about 15,000 complaints filed over the past decade, covering cars back to the 1990 model year. The complaints were filed with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, which regulates auto safety,” states the NRP report.

If you experience any problems with your car, you can register a complaint with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration by clicking here.

Technology is often shared, so it is not surprising to learn that cars from different manufacturers have similar defects.  If you are unsure about the safety of your vehicle, please get it inspected immediately.  Even minor defects can have devastating consequences.
