Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“All of a sudden in late may when I hit my brakes they made a crushing sound and the entire vehicle would shake and the ABS light came on. So at 51000 miles I am told that my front and rear brakes and rotors all need to be replaced. The mechanic couldn't believe how badly the rotors we rusted. After the brakes we repaired ABS still kicks in at the very last minute before the vehicle stops. So I had to take the vechicle to another repair shop so they could do a computer diagnostics and I am told that my ABS modul needs to be replaced and the cost is approx $1300. …”
