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.
Lighting-headlights - while driving at night, my headlights (both low and highbeam) will go off altogether a few seconds after I switch to my highbeams. After emergency stopping due to lack of vision, it comes back on after sitting a few moments only to happen again and again. This is a very serious defect that almost caused a head on collision and my family to loose our lives. 2) parking brake - while parked in 4 wheel drive, motor off, on a close to flat surface, my Blazer's emergency brake disengages and my vehicle has to be moved back into its paking place. Electrical system:battery - battery goes dead if I leave my door open for 10 minutes to sweep out the inside. Even after factory battery was replaced for the same reason. Exhauste system: Cvs valve replaced soon after driving off the showroom floor at dealership. Brake:hydrolic anti-lock brake assembly: Unable to stop vehicle while in 4 wheel drive causing a crash into guardrail in order to get stopped. Brakes also fail when trying to come to a stop and running over a bump in the road...causes brakes to make a clicking noise and loose braking hold...have to reapply for vehicles brakes to work.
Vehicle would slow down and the accelerate on it's own. Owner took vehicle in to the dealer, and was informed that the emergency brake assembly was activating on it's own, causing a popping noise.
