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 emergency / parking brake cable has broken for the second time (previous break reported to NHTSA in 1997 / 1998) break was aprox 7" from pedal end of cable (same place as before). Replacement part # F65Z-2853ba $32.78. Suspect cable is not the problem but the pedal assembly could be designed / manufactured incorrectly causing cable to be pinched / chaffed. I was just lucky that the cable snapped when I was on the flat and not in my inclined driveway! still have cable if you wish to inspect it, will gladly send it to your engineers just give me an address.
