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.
Brakes have been replaced three times, and the problem still exists, repair work, I.e. pads, rotors, have been done. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem. Consumer states vehicle pulls to the side when brakes are applied, the pedal did not feel right from day one, on the first dealer visit the right front assembly, caliper, pads, rotors, were replaced due to being loose and pads had completely wore down and were squeaking, at 16000 miles this problem repeated itself, on 28-Sep-98 vehicle was involved in an accident, one person was injured and the driver air bag did not deploy when it should have.
Brakes completely failed as my wife approached stop sign. No warning. Brake pedal went all the way to floor. Crossed very usy highway (1604) withou incident, all oncoming drives managed to stop or get out of way. Vehicle slowly came to stop and was shut off. Towed immediately to dealer. Dealer replaced ABS unit under warantee with a rebuilt keysey-hays unit.
When traveling on wet pavement and upon applying force to the brake pedal, consumer noticed a loud noise, pedal traveled to the floorboard, vehicle got into a skid, resulting in loss of vehicle control for a brief period.
While driving, when attempting to slow/stop, experiences inadequate brake action, vehicle pulls to extreme left or right, then rolls approx. 15 feet further before stopping.
While driving experiences vibration and shimmy in front and rear suspension, causing malfunctioning of idler/arm pitman and rear axel, upon braking vehicle pulls to extreme right, also jerks to right when braking.
When applying the brakes the vehicle will pull drastically to the right, vehicle has been taken in for service on four different occasions without a remedy.
