Example complaints

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

“I found that the parking brake would not hold the vehicle when it was set while launching my boat on the slope of a boat ramp. This could cause injury or damage if the vehicle rolled while someone was behind the vehicle when it began rolling. The local dealers mechanic checked the parking brake shoes and found that the left one was extremely worn while the right one was in good shape. This indicates that the parking brake was not accidentally left on while driving because both brakes would be worn. …”
