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.
Pulled into fueling station, stopping at pump, pedal went to floor board. Checked brake reservoir it was empty, added 1 pint of brake fluid. No signs of leak. Found signs of fluid on frame driver side behind fuel tank, pulled tank to find a very rusted brake line and a hole in brake line. Checked other brake lines, all are badly rusted. The gas lines running next to the brake line are not rusted at all. Truck parked in barn all the time, very seldom driven in winter.
Consumer stated the brake pads spit out of the driver's side front wheel. Both front wheels were checked, and the brake pads were completely dissolved. They dug deep holes in the rotors. At the same time as this happened the brake line that went to the rear wheels had heavy corrosion and they blew out at that point. Other heavy corrosion on other brake lines came out of the ABS control unit. The brakes were not worn out, but they totally dissolved. Vehicle was not used for heavy towing, and it has not been used in the water.
