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.

This vehicle has had a problem with the braking system since purchased. Right rear locks whenver weather is damp, road wet or slippery. When it does the ABS does not seem to work at all. Numerous attempts to repair, no problem found.
When applying the brakes rear end of the vehicle jumps. Dealer has replaced rear brakes 4 times, and the front brakes have been replaced twice a year. Dlr can't find cause of the problem.
Transmission locked up in second gear and would not shift out of gear up or down. Also, ABS brake system has a defect in the system, causing extended stopping distance when pedal is pushed. In addition, A/C unit replaced three times/ electric seat wiring is defective/ door handles keep bending when attempting to open doors, and rear seal leakage. Repair work and replacements done at owner's expense. Problems still occur. Provide further information.
