Example complaints

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

“My car did not stop when brake was applied resulting in a crash into the car that was in front of me. Both cars were getting ready to enter the main road from a side street. I was starting to proceed and we had to stop and wait for oncoming traffic when I hit my brakes it did not stop before I hit the car. Recall # 19s54”

NHTSA complaint #11302317, filed 2020-01, 130,000 miles

“When I came to an intersection, my anti-lock brakes kicked in and malfunctioned causing the pedal to go to the floor and I lost braking power. I pushed even harder on the pedal and it seemed like I had brakes but no power to the brake system. I shut off the vehicle, pumped the brakes twice and restarted. The pedal went back to normal and I was able to brake fine.”

NHTSA complaint #11031813, filed 2017-10, 186,000 miles

“I had to replace the brake booster,cv boots, master cylinder rotors and brakes. All to the tune of 2,000. I had no warning. No lights in the dash came on or anything. I was going down a hill and all of a sudden there were no brakes. I have had cars and drove them for over 200,000 miles and I have never had to replace all this stuff on a car. This Mercury has cost me so much money. Its not like its a mercedes or bmw. Nothing on this car is cheap to get fixed. I have replaced the brakes over 20 times and the car is only 6 years old. I see why they stopped making them.”

NHTSA complaint #10448897, filed 2012-02, 120,000 miles

“Nhtsa recall number: 19v904 applies to my vehicle and is now over a year old. The manufacturer has yet to issue a remedy. This is far too long for a recall to be in place and still not have a fix. Furthermore, the vehicle now has a second recall, 21v158. How long will this all take?”

NHTSA complaint #11407841, filed 2021-04, 40,000 miles

“While driving if the anti lock brake system is activated by a slick road surface, the brake pedal subsequently goes to the floor for several subsequent applications. We normally have to pull over and pump the brakes repeatedly to get the pedal back to normal. The brakes work normally during all other normal use.”

NHTSA complaint #10940056, filed 2017-01, 71,000 miles
