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.
Since I bought the car new, it has gone through 4 sets of rear disc pads. The pads have uneven wear from top to bottom which make the car have a "not smooth" stopping feel. The most recent incident on 6/2002 was the rear brakes making a loud squeeling noise when stopping at a traffic light. The rear wheels are more dirty than the front wheels. Normally, the fronts would be more dirty than the rears. This leads me to believe the rear brakes are "hanging up" on the rotor (not releasing). The dealer insists there is nothing wrong with the rear brakes.

Electrical - driver side parking light out & blinker, tail light dull. Bulb replacement does not fix problem which has been this way for 2.5 years. Disc hardware sticking, calipers binding, not releasing when brakes released causing an effect as if riding brakes causing premature weae and loss of brakes. Rear rotor cracked in 3 places.
