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 started scrapping and making noise, the inside pads on front were grounded into the rotor, metal against metal, dealer contacted and cannot duplicate the problem. Consumer made repairs, contacted manufacturer and they cannot duplicate the problem.
Whenever brake pedal is pressed downward to slow or stop vehicle, it would not stop. Vehicle would coast, instead. Took to dealer & service manager said that the brakes had faded. The brakes were a constant problem. Had the brake pads replaced, but the problem was not solved.
Severe front brakes pull when applied. Dealers have done extensive replacement of calipers, shoes and turned rotors. Wheel alignment doesn't correct problem.
ABS: Brake shoes and pads have adjustment problem; causes pads to wear out prematurely; results in extended stopping; replaced 4 times within 38,000 miles.
