Example complaints

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

“The brakes seemed to need more and more peddle pressure to stop the car. It got so bad I couldn't drive the car car safely. I went to have the brakes replaced and the rear calipers were frozen. The slider pin on the bottom of both calipers is locked solid.”
