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 vehicle 40 pmh driver stepped on the brake pedal to stop vehicle, the brakes made noise like grinding metal to metal sound, and vehicle stopped a few inches away. Also consumer said that he lost control of vehicle, almost causing an accident. He had to replace brakes many times before. Manufacturer and dealer were contacted.
While driving the vehicle the brakes and steering all of a sudden locked up, causing the driver to lose control of the entire vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer, and they did not understand what had happened so they were trying to fix the computer. When the driver drove again the same thing happened again.
Slowing down vehicle, heard a grinding, screeching noise. Took to dealer & informed that the brake rotors/pads & calipers were shot & needed replacing. Took vehicle back for same problem, but in rear wheel cylinder.
