Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I press on the brake hard and continually there is a noise (thump). My husband has taken the car in where we bought the car 3x's and was told this is normal on the front brakes. I am not happy with that answer. I just want to know is this normal for the car I bought. Is it safe. The car is beautiful and to drive around and hear a noice when pressing the brake is not acceptable on such a beautiful car. I have an audio of the sound I'm hearing while breaking. And a video of the mechanic at the dealership saying this was acceptable normal. I just bought this car 10-29-2019.”
