Example complaints

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

“While attempting to stop in my driveway, I lost braking power... Pedal went to the floor after a few pumps. Brake fluid out on the ground. Inspection revealed rear brake line failure because of corrosion. The truck had 56,337 miles at the time. In september 2011, the front lines failed because of corrosion while out driving on the roads. The corrosion was severe overall and I had the entire front brake line system replaced from the master cylinder down rather than the partial branch that had burst. At the time of the front line failure, the vehicle only had 58,555 miles on it. …”
