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 were applied after a stuck throttle due to mats. When applied no vacuum power available to stop the vehicle. Under full manual force on the brake pedal the vehicle was actually accelerating. Key off prevented any serious problems. A test found that under full throttle no vacuum is available for braking. All systems are normal and correct otherwise. Will not stop if throttle is engaged full, prior to the application of brakes. Tired of losing money taking vehicles to and from dealers. I'll have to accept the problem until such time as I can get it looked into. Advise testing of vacuum assisted brakes in the future by applying full throttle and then, full brakes. In this case there is no vacuum available. Scary!!!
