Example complaints

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

“The ABS braking system activates for no reason and greatly extends the stopping distance. This has put our drivers in very dangerous situations. We have several GM light duty vans and trucks and this has been a problem with almost all of them. The wheel sensor mechanism is a faulty design and causes a very dangerous situation for the drivers. Gm should recall and replace all of these with a newly designed unit that work safely.”
