Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving to church with my daughter on october 24, 1999 travelling about 35 MPH on dry pavement with outside temperature about 70 f. As I applied brakes to stop at a traffic light, the brake pedal went down as usual, but suddenly pushed my foot up and braking effect became noticeable less. Fortunately, on sunday there is not much traffic at this intersection, but with more a usual traffic pattern I would have certainly been in an accident. There was no warning prior to this event. The brakes appeared to be working normally. …”

“The 1987 - 1992 Cadillac Allante bosch iii anti-lock braking system is prone to total failure without warning. This leaves the driver with no ability to stop the car in a reasonable distance. I own such a car, and as a member of an Allante car club I have documentation of at least 26 different Allante cars within our group that have experienced brake failure. This trend is very dangerous to the driver and passenger. Cadillac replaced the system on the 1993 model, but the earlier models are accidents waiting to happen. …”
