Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving down the road(luckily at 35 MPH) the brake pedal went straight to the floor. I down shifted and used the ebrake and stopped safely and noticed a puddle under the car in front of the passenger side rear tire. After getting the vehicle home safely, and checking things out, I noticed the 4 way connector (recalled under campaign# wqk-47) was severely rusted and looks as though it had never been addressed. Then, while looking up the part, I noticed there was a recall, but not on my specific year and model, even though the surrounding models and years were recalled. …”
NHTSA complaint #11363134, filed 2020-10, 93,000 miles“When I hit the brakes hard for an emergency stop last night the peddle went to the floor and nothing happened, so I took my foot off the peddle and then reapplied and they worked fine, but by that point the deer had already hit me.”
NHTSA complaint #10323620, filed 2010-04, 35,000 miles“Road salt rusting out brake lines at junction right in font of right rear wheel. Vehicle lost breaking.
