Example complaints

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

“2002 astro VAN becomes difficult to stop . Feels like the hydraulic booster fails to engage, necessitating extreme pressure to be applied to the brake peddle to stop the vehicle. This situation took place fairly often. After removing the ABS fuse the brakes are working fine.”
