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.
The problem presented as a "popping" noise as reported by the driver, whenever the brakes were applied. Upon investigation for brake system problem the repair station identified the broken spring. This coil spring is broken in several locations along the upper coil, with fragmentation in longitudinal and transverse body of the spring material. This could present a loss of suspension control if the breakage worsened, or occurred at multiple other locations in the course of degradation. The vehicle has been removed from service, and other units in the same order history for this fleet are being inspected.
