Example complaints

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

“I was discussing a friend's brake rotor replacement with him only to find out that his particular year, make, and model could have as many as five different disks, all of which seem to be interchangeable, until you test out the vehicle after completion. Is there any way of telling the right parts for his specific vehicle?”

NHTSA complaint #10197710, filed 2007-07

“When applying brakes in a sudden stop, it caused brake pedal to go down to the floor, and brakes did not respond. Vehicle was taken to an independent shop. Consumer was informed that nothing could be found. Dealer / manufacturer were not notified at this time. Feel free to provide further details.”

NHTSA complaint #863181, filed 2000-06
