Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brake sometimes not working properly when the vehicle is on low speed less than 20 m/h. I feel the front brake is not working sometimes. I visit the car repair center and they said it is fine. But I read the same issue on the internet forum. They have changed the brake oil or master cylinder or brake rotor and disk but they just spent money and nothing improved. I need your help.”
