Example complaints

“Because the brake light switch failed I could not disengage the cruise control by pressing on teh brake. Almost rear ended vehicle in front of me at 70 MPH. Had switched replaced. Happened again about 30,000 miles later., had switched replaced a second time”
NHTSA complaint #726851, filed 2000-08“The brake switch has failed 3 times on this vehicle since the purchase date. This failure results in no brake lights. The switch has been replaced by Mazda on 5/29/97 and 6/30/00. It was replaced for the third time by another repair shop on 7/16/01. I believe this high rate of failure needs to addressed because of failure to have break lights.”
NHTSA complaint #748549, filed 2001-07“Turn signal lever returns to off position unexpectedly. Most of the time it remains in the on position until you are well into your turn. At other times it will pop to the off position just as you are starting your turn.”
NHTSA complaint #730506, filed 2000-09“The brake light switch has failed four times (approximately every 15-20,000 miles). This means that there are no brake lights and no indication of failure inside the vehicle. The dealer says that the equivalent model ford (f150?) has the same problem and that the dealership can not fix the underlying problem. The switch and / or mounting system for the switch was changed in 1996 (at least that is what the dealer says). The failure of this system creates a significant saftey problem. Please advise if this problem has been identified by others.”
