Example complaints

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

“When I apply my brakes, the pedal gets hard and the car shakes and I am not sure that it will stop..after a second if I push hard enough the pedal will go all the way to the floor and I am never sure it is going to stop. I have taken it to the local dealership and they cannot fix it. I hate driving the car in heavy traffic because I am never sure that I will be able to stop. Is there anything that can be done instead of waiting for a complete failure for this problem to be fixed??”

NHTSA complaint #710497, filed 1999-08

“Anti-lock brake light cam on, anti-lock no longer works. Repair the anti-lock brakes and the broke parking brake cable. The broke pare for the anti lock braking system was the rear wheel sensor. Either the manufactor nor after market vendor had the replacement part. Resulting in no anti-lock benefits.”

NHTSA complaint #9006319, filed 2002-02
