Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Was driving and a truck pulled out of drive way in front of me. Hit the brakes and they worked for a split second but then went out causing an accident. Since that they brake tight and ABS light came on and continues to stay on at all times now. I do have brakes just not anti-lock. Have checked the whole system to fix and found that it is a common problem. The ABS module is no longer available so can not remedy this problem. I live in a state that has safety and emissions tests that it will not pass. I have done research on this issue to try to get fixed and parts for hours to no reveal. …”
