Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When attempting to put my truck in gear, the brake pedal presented no resistance, suddenly the e-brake light came on, and an error stated low brake fluid. I added brake fluid which appeared to resolve the issue. After driving approx. 20 miles home, the brake error returned, and the fluid was again low. I made an appt with the dealer the next day they were open, again added brake fluid, and drove the truck to the dealer. They called me 2 hours later to tell me the leaking brake fluid had been sucked into the engine and the engine was beyond repair and needed to be replaced. …”
