“I had an accident this passed july 4, 2020 where I had no brakes. That experience will never be forgotten (pstd). I traveled that day 110 mile on the freeway and reached my destination stopped to check address, then turned slowly into a driveway. My friends pulled their car up so I can park behind. I pulled in pressed on brakes and realized there were no brakes when my foot went all the way to the floor and car started accelerating. My friends drive is on a decline. Very hilling area in harrison mi. …”
NHTSA complaint #11352176, filed 2020-08, 5,500 miles“I recently took a trip to pigeon forge tennesee from charl3ston west virginia. The speed most of the drive was 65mph. My vehicle only has 43,000 miles on it. I bought it used but that doesn't mean that the brakes should already be wearing down. Braking down hill at 65mph the brakes seemed to almost be pulsating but felt like the rotor may have been warped and the sound was horrible! I felt the vibrations every time I would brake. I don't know what to do about it as I just spent a lot of money on the car itself! …”
NHTSA complaint #11352907, filed 2020-09, 43,000 miles“I was traveling on a very busy highway going 50 miles an hour. I noticed a lot of congestion ahead so I had to lean over because the car has bad blind sites due to headrests on all seats. When I turned back there were many cars stopped dead in front of me. I slammed on the brakes but didn't even slow down. I rear ended the car in front of me. My air bag did not deploy nor did my seat belt even tighten. My entire body especially on the right side slammed the steering wheel. My knee slammed the column or something underneath the steering column. I have a permanent mark. …”
NHTSA complaint #11383972, filed 2020-12, 10,000 miles“When pushing the start button the vehicle continues to turn over but takes awhile before it cranks and it usually happens when it's a cold crank and it's been sitting for awhile I'm pretty sure it's the fuel pump.also whenever your getting in and backing out the brakes squeak pretty bad and this vehicle has less the 25k miles on it.”
