About These NHTSA Complaints:
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.
After 5000 mile service, which include inspecting brakes and rotating tires. I started hearing sound from the rear brake while applying. The noise was a type of thump which seem to catch on the drum. I took the vehicle back to the dealer the following day. Mechanic rode with me and did hear noise. Said that it sounded like the drum brake was catching. Dealer machined drums and tapered ends of rear shoes. Noise was fixed but I have never heard of this before.
