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.
Going down a steep hill at a very low speed about 5 mph, the idling speed will overcome the compressor in engine. Totally dependent on brakes, causes the brakes to overheat and results in brakes fading. Dangerous sitution.
While driving the vehicle at normal speed applied brakes the car did not stop. A week later the incident occurred again, and driver had to drive the vechicle into a wall to stop it. The dealer contacted and will repair at owners expense. Stated they had no brake problem with these vehicles.
