Example complaints

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

“I went to slow to make turn and brakes went to the floor suddenly so I used emergency brake to stop. I believe all lines will need to be replaced as other look as rusty. Rust has been an issue for last 2 years with rotors needing replace then bearings in front rusted and anti-lock brake light would come on and pedal would surge. This is the worse chevy truck I ever bought as even seeing rust already in lower panels and entire frame. Looks bad for only 53,474 miles.”
