Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Flaw in design of e brake mechanism causes the emergency brake to remain engaged during regular operation. This results in excessive wear on the interior drum liners located inside the rear rotors. As a result only 25% of the e brakes braking surface contacts the drum surface, therefore, the drums and pads wear excessively and without warning. As a result, e brake requires frequent adjustments and metal to metal contact and excessive repair cost are inevitable.”
