Example complaints

“Have had repeated front brake wear out and noise (squaek/groan) on my 2000 Mercury Villager since new. Have had 4 sets of front brake pads and a set of rotors replaced in only 28,000 miles. Dealer says there is nothing wrong. The other two Mercury villagers that I've owned (1996 and 1998 models) did not have this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10021151, filed 2003-06, 28,304 miles“On june 8, 2002 I was driving down a major hwy in louisiana. I was driving 70 miles per hour which was the posted speed limit. A car clipped my front end and caused me to go off the highway into the grass. I don't know if my brakes were a problem because they are anti-lock so I'm not sure if this was suppose to happen along with the airbags but when I applied the brakes the van would not stop. I ended up back on the freeway across traffic still going in the same direction, and hit a metal guardrail head on that was located beside the concrete wall that holds up the bridge. …”
NHTSA complaint #763125, filed 2002-06“Total brake fade, not pedal, brakes just wouldn't hold. Had normal pedal. According to an accident investigator I am talking to, he has at least one other case similar. This involved a 2001 nissan SUV. In that case it was found that the right front wheel sensor was not sending the proper signal for a failure(which would have disabled ABS) but not proper signal for ABS to work.”
