Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Press brakes and they start jumping and make a weird sound, don't work correctly as if you loose your breaks for sometime, pull over shut car off wait and then restart and everything is back to normal - scary at high speeds on the highway, this has been a continous problem and even my work around is no longer working. This happens atleast once a month with continued driving so I use my other car more often than not.”
NHTSA complaint #11243192, filed 2019-08, 102,000 miles“I was driving about 30 MPH on a city street and step on the brakes when approaching a stop sign. The brake pedal felt real soft and I could hear a grinding sound coming from the brakes and the ABS and vdc lights came on. I had to pull off the road, turn the vehicle off and on again a couple of times before I could continue driving. This has happened to my wife and I 13 times.”
NHTSA complaint #10870664, filed 2016-05, 140,000 miles“Doesn't matter the speed of the vehicle, brakes tend to press to the floor, grinding noise and the only way to stop this is to pull over the vehicle, turn off the ignition and restart it. It randomly happens, but I am very concerned that if and when I tow or am on the highway, I don't won't my brakes to not work. Could kill me...”
NHTSA complaint #10783242, filed 2015-10, 154,000 miles“While driving the Armada, the brake light suddenly turns on. And I'm unable to brake immediately. I would have to stop the vehicle completely and turn it off wait about two minutes, then turn the engine back on.. Sometimes it stops, but most times it doesn't..”
NHTSA complaint #11189830, filed 2019-03, 165,000 miles“In 20017 I was rear ended on i95 by another driver at no fault on my part. I requested the vehicle be fixed but a check of only $384.80 was mailed to me 2 years later. Now the vehicles steering wables, along with the brakes and wheels.”
