Example complaints

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

“On few occasions I experienced faulty activation of ABS brakes driving at a low speed. Last time it was at a speed lower than 10 MPH when I was not even pushing brake pedal. Abs activated for few seconds while driving. Researching on internet it appears that my problem is not unique. Should there be a recall or at least free repair of ABS system on affected vehicles?”

“The airbag light has stayed on for over 2 years. When a touch the brake pedal, a bulb illuminates. Therefore I am constantly having all of my lights, brake fluid, and brakes checked. Especially since before any of the above issues arose, I attempted to put on brakes and the car would not stop! I had to come to a rolling stop. I immediately had the car checked by severall mechanics. None of them could find anything wrong.”

“While following a line of cars through a local city street my car accelerated coming close to the car in front. I brake, the car did not respond. I used all my strength on the brake pedal and the car responded by going faster. To avoid a collision, I swerved to the right into a convenience store driveway. However, I hit the bumper of the car in front of me and this finally stopped my car. I read on a website that this is not an uncommon problem with this model. Why has there been no recall to solve this problem?”

“I was braking my car at the end of my work's driveway which enters into a t intersection. Upon reaching a slow speed of 5 MPH the car surged into the traffic which was traveling from my left and right. Braking fully had no effect on the surge and thankfully I was not hit by any left or right traveling vehicles and I just missed a vehicle crossing in front of me by an inch as it passed. Still braking fully, my car crossed the entire road and jumped a curb, slightly hit a rising grassy hill and finally came to rest fully on the hill only after I punched the shift into neutral. …”

“The brake warning light comes when no problem with lights or brakes when you hardly touch the brakes. It bothers or concerns the driver. When there is no problem why should warning light come on? Did you have similar problem like this with any other vehicles of this model.”
