Example complaints

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

“Started engine, depressed brake pedal to shift into reverse. Brake pedal goes to floor with no pressure, brake and stability warning light go on. I back up, then go into drive, travel about 50 feet, apply pressure on brake pedal and again no pressure on pedal, Suburban slowly stops forward movement on level surface. I return Suburban to parking area and turn off engine, call service shop and make appointment for repair. Next week, 4/22 slowly drive Suburban 1 mile to repair facility for service. 4/23 repair manager calls to tell me that all the brake lines are excessively rusted.”
