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.
While applying the brakes ABS system activated and deactivated intermittently. ABS light flashed on the dashboard. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer for analysis, and mechanic replaced the sensor.
While driving at any speed consumer can hear clunking noises in steering column. It could cause consumer to have steering problems. Dealer notified. Consumer states that steering wheel makes growling noise when turning due to rack and pinon failure. Steering makes schruching noise when turning right and dealer lubercate steering shaft. The rear brakes made a noise. The driver side door was hard to close. The left sliding door was rubbing on the body when shut
My wife had been driving approximately 30 miles on the freeway. As she was exiting the freeway, she stepped on the brake peddle to slow down normally. She felt pressure from the peddle, but then the peddle went all the way down with no effect. She pumped the peddle at least one more time, but again it went all the way down with no effect. She then had to concetrate on avoiding other cars, but finally rear ended a truck. After the minivan was repaired, we had the brakes inspected by two service centers. The second service center is the one listed in the report and is the one that regularly services our minivan. We are wondering what could cause this type of brake failure and if there are any other similar incidences that have been reported?

When applying the brakes the pedal goes to the floor, and has to be pumped in order to stop vehicle. This happens when it is wet outside. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
