Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brakes are making a noise and the ABS, vdc and slip lights are coming up on the dashboard. We have tried turning on and off vehicle. This made the lights go off at first. We have checked brake fluid. We have had the brakes inspected. No visible reason for this to occur. I have seen numerous reports on this same problem. Why is my vehicle not covered in the ntb06-040 recall?”
NHTSA complaint #10462115, filed 2012-06, 40,000 miles“I was in stop and go traffic when a grinding/springy sound came out from under and the :brake light came on. I had no control over the brake pedal, it would go all the way down to the floor but would not stop, luckily I was on a flat road so it didn't move forward or backwards. I was still able to drive the car to a safe spot and used my emergency brakes to get there. If I were going at a high speed, I don't know what would have happened. You can replace a car, but you can't replace a person. I have an 8 month old baby who needs me. …”
NHTSA complaint #11063052, filed 2018-01, 174,000 miles“Own a 2006 Nissan Armada le. Started my truck and the brake, vdc, slip, and 4wd lights lit up on the dashboard. Thought it appeared because it was getting cold. Drove a couple of blocks down a city a street and heard a loud grinding noise when the brakes were pressed and the truck jolted a little bit. After another block, lights went away and didn't have more any issues on the way home. When I got home, turn the truck off and restarted the truck, no lights. Did a google search and read many issues relating to this. …”
NHTSA complaint #10915486, filed 2016-10, 145,000 miles“On approximately september 24, 2013 I was driving down my street heading to the store. When approaching a traffic light, I applied the brakes and the brake light went on and I had sudden loss of braking power, with a grinding noise, loose braking motion. The brake pedal actually went all the way down to the floor panel. I was able to stop vehicle, although I had approximately 70-80% reduced braking power. Imagine how scary it was to try and stop a 6,000lbs vehicle with only 20% of your normal braking power. I came within inches of hitting the vehicle in front of me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10565204, filed 2014-02, 139,000 miles“I had my mom, aunt and 2 small kids in the truck we were on the way to drop my mom off at her home. Once I pulled up in front of her house we noticed the truck smoking. I got out of the vehicle and looked under the hood. I observed wires burning from that point I closed the hood so that the vehicle could cool off. I then walked my mom to her front door as I walked back to my vehicle I observed my truck on fire. I immediately rushed to the vehicle and got my kids and aunt out of the vehicle. The fire department was called and responded within 7 minutes. …”
