Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brakes inadvertantly lock up for just a couple seconds then release. This has happened 3 times. I have taken it to a local shop and they could't find anything wrond”
NHTSA complaint #10068731, filed 2004-01, 104,000 miles“I am having my brakes replaced for the 6th time since buying the car. Just about every time, it has been the front brakes, requiring new rotors and pads. Since the last time the brakes were replaced, they constantly grind and squeal, making it impossible to know when they wear out. Everyone I have talked with seems surprised by the frequency with which I need new brakes. Since I was out on your website and saw others with similar complaints, I thought I'd add my input.”
NHTSA complaint #721564, filed 2000-04“Consumer called complaining about brake problems. Also, while driving gas pedal went all the way to the floor, and consumer had to physically pull it out. Manufacturer was contacted, and stated that they had never had any problems or they didn't have any recalls.”
NHTSA complaint #10024963, filed 2003-06“When attempting to stop the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal the brakes locked completely and caused extended stopping distance. The consumer has contacted the dealer. The cause of the problem has yet to be determined. Please provide any further details.”
NHTSA complaint #10040628, filed 2003-09“Right front brake system degraded to almost failure with 2 different sets of brakes. One on 7/2/99 and another in october 1999. Each set of brakes were good for about 1000 miles. After that break-in period, the brakes began to grind away and the rotor assembly was then affected. I am looking for any information of the brake system malfunction that may be due to something other than the brake shoes that were installed.”
