Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Ongoing problems with vehicle brakes which severely limits stopping ability. Intermittent severe vibration in front end of vehicle during light to moderate braking, especially at highway speeds (45-70 MPH). Vibration and resulting loss of traction and control of vehicle versus road surface greatly reduces stopping capability of vehicle. This problem also appears to negatively effect ABS operation since smooth braking cannot be applied and therefore ABS will not engage in most instances. …”
