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.
In Aug 2003 I had my brakes done, I was planning on just changing the pads and turning the rotors but I was told that they were below min specs and had to be replaced. So I replaced them now in April 2004 I had my car in for it's regular oil change and had them do a brake inspection because my car was shaking when I applied the brakes. I was told again that all 4 rotors were below min spec and had to be replaced and they had deep groves in them. I'm not a crazy driver I have not had any speeding ticket or accidents. Ever. I was not told what could be causing these groves or why I will have to replace my rotors for the 2nd time with a car that has only 42K miles on it. I would like to know what is causing these deep groves and how to correct this problem. I have not had them fixed yet as I can't afford it.
When the brakes were applied brake pedal pulsated. Vehicle was serviced, and the technician determined that brake rotors needed to be replaced. The vehicle had its third repair in the last seven months.
