“I am having problems with my braking system. I had my brakes fixed in february 2001, it is now 10/2001 and I have had the brakes replaced again. I am a safe driver and do not drive dangerously or wreckless. I do not understand how wear and tear occured so quickly. My front end vibrates vigorously while breaking. Stopping several feet past the point where I breaked. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I have to stop way ahead of a stop. Also, my car shakes and the brake pedal vibrates when I try to stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #753653, filed 2001-10“Abs brake light keeps coming on, sometimes pedal goes to the floor. Car zigzags in the back, and eventually stops. Also, driver's side seatbelt gets stuck in the retractor, eventually it comes out/ air conditioner was not working properly because compressor and clutch were stuck. Made a loud noise.”
NHTSA complaint #870024, filed 2000-09“Owner has taken vehicle to several dealers in her area due to engine making noise. Dealers were unable to fix problem, but thought that brakes were the cause, and replaced them several times. Please describe details.”
NHTSA complaint #8015456, filed 2002-08“Brakes overheated/cracked and had warped when applied while driving. Found out that brakes were underrated along with tires by goodyear. Did not know about this until later. …”
NHTSA complaint #885904, filed 2001-04“Vehicle stalled out under heavy braking conditions and also at idle. Throttle body cleaned as repaired. Auto continued poor idle. Later, battery became fully drained. With headlights on at highway speeds, engaging brakes or turning on any cabin electrical device would flicker and dim the headlights. Replaced battery and belts for repair. Alternator tested out okay. Poor idling attributed to low voltage to idle speed motor. Continuing issue: engaging brakes flicker and dim dashboard lights. …”
