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.
When driving the truck and coming to a stop light, consumer mashed the brake pedal, and the pedal was hard. The truck went straight through the red light. Dealer could not find any problems or failures, consumer states that it sounded like the ABS was not working.
Driving about 20-25mph & would start to apply brakes, left front would lock up, but other wheels would not catch/lock up. Vehicle would go into a slide when weather is wet; does not happen when dry weather. The dealer said brakes working fine after putting vehicle on computer.
While traveling, a pedestrian on a bike ran in front of the vehicle, consumer tried to stop the vehical by pressing the brake pedal, pedal traveled to the floor board and the vehical continued to move, hitting the pedestrian.
Whiile driving the car and when trying to slow down or stop the car brakes don't respond at all. Consumer has to wait for the truck to come to a complete stop.
While attempting to apply the brakes in an emergency situation, brakes failed, vehicle skidded and rearended the vehicle in front. No deployment of driver's air bag, resulting in an injury.
Anti-lock brakes: When driving and attempting to apply the brakes the brake pedal freezes int the upward position. Vehicle continues to move with no brakes, no movement in the pedal while the vehicle travels 2to 3 hundred feet with no brakes. This is an intermittent problem. Dealer could not duplicate because there was no warning lights on. Second time ABS light were on, and they still could not detect the problem.
When applying the ABS brakes, the pedal went to the floor and the brakes failed to stop the vehicle, causing an accident in which the driver's air bag did not deploy in a frontal impact at 30 to 35mph.
Driving vehicle 40 mph; went to apply brakes (ABS), vehicle did not stop. Kept applying pressure on brakes, was not slowing down. Took to dealer & could not find problem after puttihg on computer & took for test drive.
Driving vehicle about 35mph went to apply brakes and brakes failed to catch properly. Would have to stand on pedal & nothing happens, ABS will not kick in. Took to dealer & they could not locate problem in order to repair it.
During hard braking (non-panic) at approx. 60mph, experienced pulling to extreme right due to left front caliper sticking. Dealer lubircated caliper slide points to correct problem. Also, on wet pavement experienced caliper sticking at approximately 35mph, duringnormal stopping, ABS kicked in, took longer to stop, ABS light appeared, brake action seemed inadequate to effectively stop in straight line in a timely manner.
