Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was just backing up to hitch a trailer when the brake pedal went to the floor, thankfuly it happened before I hooked the trailer as I would certainly have had an accident towing a trailer with no brakes! I looked under the vehicle and saw it was leaking brake fluid toward the driver side rear door, brake line had burst.”
NHTSA complaint #10508978, filed 2013-04, 186,000 miles“Coming to a stop and brake pedal went to floor....my vehicle then rolled into intersection causing an accident when the other vehicle collided with the front of my vehicle. Further investigation found brake line burst. To remedy situation I replaced all brake lines.”
NHTSA complaint #10609672, filed 2014-07, 155,000 miles“My Gmc Yukon experienced total brake failure. My wife was driving with our 3 month old son and luckily she was able to stop off of the side of the road in a field. When I arrived, I found a puddle of fluid under the driver side seat from badly corroded steel brake lines. After only a few minutes of online researching, I have found thousands of similar stories; some of which ended much worse. Clearly this is a quality and safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10451124, filed 2012-03, 75,000 miles“I was driving around town when the brakes felt a little soft. The next morning there was a puddle of brake fluid under the vehicle. I put in a half a bottle of brake fluid into the reservoir. I drove to the house and parked it. Several minutes after parking there was the beginning of a puddle of brake fluid. I made several other stops and at each stop brake fluid was beginning to leak when vehicle was turned off. Took vehicle to shop and was told that the brake lines all needed to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10566728, filed 2014-03, 165,895 miles“At slow braking speeds {at 5 MPH} the ABS brakes go off every time you stop. When coasting through a parking lot at 5 MPH, when the brakes go off they lock up and they do not let go. When they lock up, and your cannot stop or control the braking, you run into the cars parked in front of me. My wife will not drive this vehichle any more because she cannot control the stopping. I removed the fuses that control the ABS braking so that I can control my braking.”
