Example complaints

“The vacuum pump failed resulting in loss of braking assistance. Mushy and hard peddle. Very noticeable at low speeds. Mine went out while exiting the highway at highway speeds. Causing excessive speed on the off ramp and inability to safely brake. Appears to have been a recall for my year vehicle. After calling the dealer I was told m VIN was excluded from the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11388725, filed 2021-01, 99,600 miles“In august truck was serviced for brake assist recall. Within a week I had small signs of brake issues returning ( booster noise, intermittent hard pedal). Its now the first week of august and I have a rock solid break pedal making truck not safe to drive..to put my truck back on road im responsible for $600 dollar repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11362890, filed 2020-10, 120,000 miles“While driving at low speed the brakes failed to stop and I nearly ran over a lady. Then after parking I went to leave and I almost baked into someone because the brakes again failed. Local dealer said that the vacuum pump is know to just go out randomly. This should be a recall seeing as to how it is sketchy and could get someone killed.”

NHTSA complaint #11090358, filed 2018-04, 80,000 miles“Brakes are failing at low speeds. From other reports it seems to be the brake vacuum pump. While driving in stop and go traffic, I nearly rear ended the vehicle in front of me. The brake pedal would not move no matter how hard I pressed. This happened again backing out of my driveway and only the curb across the street stopped the vehicle.”
