“I bought my 2010 van in 2017. March 1st 2019 my complete and brake control module has completely failed. My brake, ABS, esp bad and traction sensor lights remain on my dash board, and I have no emergency braking at all. I have no idea how a complete ABS braking system computer can just fail. The light came on while I was driving in traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #11184501, filed 2019-03, 109,778 miles“There have been several issues with this vehicle all happening within several months. We first had issues with the tire tread, then a hole in the water hose and radiator, a hole in the exhaust manifold. Then it was broken pieces in the catalytic converter. Now the current issue is either the brakes seized up or the the caliber is stuck and we are currently unable to drive the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11287043, filed 2019-12, 155,733 miles“February my husband and I financed this car and within less than one month we been experiencing one issue after another. First, the heater hose had a hole in it then after that was the radiator then after we replaced those two now we have a issue with the exhaust modifier as well a issue with the brakes today the tires locked up on us.
