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.
Initial transmission problem started @ 38000 just out of warranty. Dealer said they couldn't help. I never thought of contacting manufacturer. Trans. Diagnosis complete at 72500 mis, dealer say rebuild, R+R at 89300mis. Brake mastercylinder lid was leaking causing insufficiet fluid level lead to pad and shoe failure. Transmission failure led to lifter failure in the engine. Trans would long shift putiing strain on engine causing a higher rev. Ultimately weakening 2 lifters. I am now hearing a noise and feeling jolts on the steering wheel turning left. Problem is unknown at this time.
The brake pads are also in need of changing at 50000 miles when they were changed at 22702miles by the dealership. Something is wrong with the breaking system.
When driving at various speed and applying brakes, vehicle pulls to the left. The harder pushes on brakes the harder vehicle pulls to left. Consumer has to counter steer in order to avoid hitting oncoming traffic. Has replaced brakes pads, but defect is still occurring.
ABS brake problems; intermittently when applying the brakes on dry road conditions, under normal braking, they seem to be very spongy, and the pedal travels to the floorboard. They do not stop the truck. All brake pads have be replaced on 3/7/98. The rear brakes pads were glazed over like they were heated up.
Consumer experiencing excessive wear of the front brake shoes pads. Has replaced the pads and shoes every 7,000 miles. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer has replaced the shoes and pads, dealer unable to determine the cause of the problem.
When brakes are applied vehicle veers to the right; also, ABS light and brake lights come on when pulling a trailer. In addition, replaced front brake rotors/pads/calipers.
When applying the brakes the vehicle will severely pull to the right. After taking the vehicle in for service five times the vehicle now pulls to the left. Dealer has replaced the brake pads and the calipers with no remedy. Consumer states vehicle has been brought in 2 times more and still problem exists. Vehicle has an intermittent transmission, vehicle won't shift the transmission from 1st to 2nd gear, resulting in red lining the motor and severe jerking in traffic.
Vehicles front disc brake system at 20,000 miles had 4 sets of pads and 3 sets of rotors.then, everything connected to the front braking system was changed. The manufacturer bought the vehicle back, they could not find the defect.
Took vehicle to dealer and he said that the rear brakes are not working that's why the front brake need to have brake rotors and pads replaced every 10-1200 miles. Vehicle went through 3 sets of front pads. The non-functioning rear brakes, causing front brakes to work harder.
When driving in the rain at 30 mph you have to apply so much brake pedal that the front ABS brakes lock up; also, the brake pads have been replaced at 5,500 and 18,000 miles and the calipers have been rebuilt at 18,000 miles.
