Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was approaching a stop light and applied pressure to the brake pedal. My foot went to the floor and the truck did not stop. I was able to activate the parking brake and safely stop the truck. On inspection, it was discovered that the factory installed steel brake lines failed due to corrosion. The vehicle is well cared for and has no signs of body rust but the brake lines are almost completely rusted away front to back.”

NHTSA complaint #10626201, filed 2014-08, 195,000 miles“Dt: when the consumer presses the accelerator all the way down it does not speed up quickly. It is a few moments before the vehicle will speed up. This problem has been occurring since purchase. The problem is with the passing gear and the resume on the cruise control. The problem occurs whether or not the cruise control is on. When the consumer contacted the manufacturer, they told him that it was how the vehicle was designed.”
