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.
I have replaced the brake pads, hoses and master cylinder. The rotors have been checked and rotated. Problem still persists at my expense! none of this work was done under warranty. Continuous problems with air conditioner. Dealer could not find fault. I have spent several $'s fixing this issue.
My brakes have been replaced 5 times in less than 5 years and only 43,000 miles, with the first time being at only 8179 miles! the dealership's excuse is that "your vehicle has semi-metallic brake pads which will not last longer than 12,000 miles" this is baloney! no vehicle should have to have its brakes replaced annually (or more)!
The brakes fail to operate properly when applied as directed in the manual if the road surface is slippery for any reason. I have been involved in at least three crashes because the brakes release instead of pumping. The dealer sevice dept insists that the brakes were not properly engaged. That is hogwash!
