Example complaints

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

“The sliding car icon displays quite often, always on dry pavement. Usually for a short time during that time the brakes do not operate properly. They act as though the ABS have engaged themselves and make it almost impossible to stop. It has happened over 10 times to me in the 15 months that I have owned the truck. The dealer checked the problem and reported that there was nothing wrong.”

NHTSA complaint #10244171, filed 2008-10, 8,705 miles

“Leaving my neighborhood going 20-25 MPH. Pavement was dry. Slight downhill incline. Put my foot on the brake. Brake started pulsating rapidly. Brake was resisting me pressing it by pushing my foot back up with pulsating action. Truck would not stop. Could have rear ended the car in front of me or went into a 4 lane highway. Pulled out onto the highway proceeded down another downhill incline about 45 MPH. Put my foot on the brake to slow down again the brakes started pulsating and did not work. …”

“I was driving my 2007 Ford Expedition merging onto the freeway, the traction control light came on, the vehicle then started to shake and shutter, at that point the vehicle started to slow down and applied pressure to the brakes while it made a rattling sound, it lasted less than a minute but felt like an eternity. While I was afraid, I eased off the gas to let it slow down, then I tried to apply light pressure to the brakes to avoid being in a accident, then the vehicle picked up and responded as normal. This has happened on 3 occasions. Very frightening!!! …”
