Example complaints

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

“2009 Dodge grand Caravan (stow and go) extreme heat and strong smell of overheated brakes coming mostly from rear brakes. The heat generated in an average 16 mile drive under normal operating conditions causes enough heat and strong brake smell that you can hardly touch the plastic hubcap mounted on the steel wheels. The emergency brake has never been used and has never been activated accidentally. The smell can be noticed all the way around the vehicle from inside and outside particularly in the rear. …”
