What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 14 model years this bulletin names have filed 321 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 45 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.

This happened going forward and in reverse multiple times, causing the car to come to a sudden, abrupt stop even at speeds in excess of 30mph. This resulting in my teen daughter having bruising from the seat belt.
