This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I had my brakes and tires replaced and now the ABS and brake light are on in the car the rear brakes lock up if the ABS and brake light go on adn the car can get out of control in case of braking in an emergency.
This car has a long delay during wet braking and I can not figure out why. When they are warm it is fine, but when they cool off such as on the interstate while driving, when they are needed they do not stop the car. In a situation where stopping is needed quickly, this car would not be able to do this in a decent amount of space. I do not have any aftermarket parts on this car, gy Eagle rsa tires all new, not original brake pads, 16" factory wheels. This isnt a normal problem like driving through a puddle and braking, it occurs very often and at the worst times, it forces me to drive in the rain and constantly use the brakes in order to keep the warm enough to evaporate water and keep them working.
On numerous occasions, when driving in very wet conditions, there is a very noticeable delay before the brakes have any effect. This can be up to 2 seconds or so, and depending on driving conditions could lead to an accident. This has not happened to me yet, but I am concerned about this defect.
When shifting into fourth gear, engine fumbles causing the car to vibrate....on cold starts, any release of the throttle and the front end makes loud clicking, dealer couldn't duplicate though happens every day....under acceleration when cold, exhaust rattles, sounds like heat shield rapping against something.
