Example complaints

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

“Through normal use or over time, the braided emergency brake cable can rust on models equipped with such causing the cable to fail resulting in stretching and in some cases break. The subsequent result of this failure could result in an inability to stop the vehicle in the event of the normal system failure, or in the event the vehicle is parked on an incline or decline.”
