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.
ABS system doesnt work at all. Front brakes when appplied will lock up and rear wheels dont work at all they just roll along. Put two set of barke pads on front. Almost had four collision.
Following the replacement of the front brake pads, the brakes failed, and the vehicle was returned to the dealers service department. The service manager told me that the brake pads had "melted and turned ino wax". it was simply a defective part, and that he had seen it occur previously on a Dodge Caravan. Anyway, I think that brake pads melting is a significant safety concern. My wife narrowly avoided a head on collision when the brakes failed at a construction area, and the vehicle veered into the oncoming lane of traffic -- she did not steer into this lane. She said it felt almost as if the brakes had been greased.
Premature wear of brake pads. Pads have been replaced every 10000 miles. Consumer states front brakes locked up, causing a collision with another vehicle.
Excessive wear of brake pads; at 20,000 miles, dealer turned front rotors and replaced pads at consumer's cost. Prolem continued to reoccur a 24,700 miles, 51,209 miles and at 58,000 miles. Brakes pads were replaced.
Front passenger side/outer side brake pads wear excessivley down to the metal. Dealer notified and informed consumer that was normal wear. Seeking additional information on this matter from NHTSA.
