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.
While driving caller tries to slow down and without warning the brakes lose power. While at the stop light it accelerates, and she has to fight the car to keep it stopped. While in park it races at 2125 rpms. Had car to dealer 4 times for same problem. Dealer said it was a chip in computer. Car will be towed again tonight. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet. Manufacturer was called the last time this happened.
I bought a car from a X-police officer for a very good price. It ran well I had it checked out. Brakes and all. They were fine. Well I noticed the stopping distance was very long before all of this happened, . well to make it short I slighty hit a curb and that was it. The car is totaled.
Vehicle is going 45-55mph it starts to decelerate. Steering gets stiff. Oil pressure light comes on, and when brakes are applied vehicle begins to accelerate without pressing on accelerator pedal. Problem has duplicated itself many times, but dealer can't duplicate this problem to find a solution. Once vehicle is restarted there is no problem.
Steering and brakes lock, usually on a curve, always on wet road. Problem has happened with other drivers in this vehicle. Questions to dealer service department offer no enlightenment or satisfaction; they've never heard of anything like this.
