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.
While driving the truck the ABS lights comes on and stays on. Once truck has been started, the light does not come on, but when started driving for a while the light comes on.
Driving vehicle about 40mph started to apply brakes, stopped & the ABS locked up. Took to dealer 3 different times & each time was informed nothing was wrong. Could not find any problem.
When the brakes are applied the vehicle shakes. Owner has had the vehicle into the dealer for repairs four times.the dealer replaced the rotors and the entire breking system, and the vehicle continues to shake when brakes are applied. Owner states that he has contacted the state attorney general's office about the lemon law.
Brakes: Driving approximately 35mph approaching an intersection and slid into path of another vehicle, only one wheel brake activated. Vehicle was totaled. Air bag inflated and ejected driver through back glass of the vehicle.
In damp high humidity weather, making the first stop after driving the vehicle for about 30-40 minutes ABS will suck moisture into lining, causing the rear brakes to lock up and skid sideways. Dealer replaced shoes and drums.
Driving at approx 15 mph stepped on brakes, they locked up which caused consumer to lose control. Hit guardrail. Kept slidding for about 35 yards, wet conditons.
Brakes: Had accident on April 24 due to brake failure, brakes did not catch at al L. put brake pedal completely to the floor and the truck did not stop. The only thing stopped the truck was the car ahead that driver hit. Today the same problem occurred. Put pedal completely to floor and the brakes did catch, but not fast enough and rear ended a car at the light. Dealer says they can't find a problem with the brakes. Consumer states valve was changed and three days later, brakes failed, vehicle went through an intersection.
Brakes: Driving approximately 45mph and the car ahead slammed on its brakes. Tried to stop, put pedal completely to the floor and the brakes failed, hit car in front and neither air bags deployed. Brakes and air bags failed, reason is unknown.
Driving 55-65mph; started to apply brakes; felt hard as a rock; pedal soft at top. Wheels would not lock or stop. No ABS brakes on front. Even w/towing had problems w/brake system. Took to dealer & brake pads rotated; master cylinder been replaced to counteract braking problem.
Throttle stuck wide open due to a piece of insulation that fell from hood and was lodged in the throttle linkage. In addition, ABS brakes had to be replaced due to warpage caused by severe use in stopping vehicle.
While traveling about 45 mph another vehicle pulled out in front of vehicle and consumer hit the other vehicle in the side door. The airbag didn't deploy and the anti-lock brakes failed.
When driving at highway speed and putting on brakes, the brake pedal goes to the floor, and will not stop the vehicle. Futhermore, have to pump the brakes several times in order for vehicle to stop.
Was driving vehicle; had started applying ABS brakes; brakes locked up; vehicle started to skid; roads were dry; took to dealer & informed htere was no problems.
