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.
Car will pull from side to side under light braking if the road is rough. Must fight with the steering wheel to keep car straight under braking. Also, the car will also wander the road if it is uneven or rough. Again the driver must fight with the steering wheel to regain control. The dealer has not been able to locate problem.
Intermittently when applying brakes ABS will take longer to activate, causing extended stopping distance. Dealer claims this is normal characteristic, and there is no fix.
Reported ABS light continually on; ABS control module ordered 09/04/1999 (cost to owner for part: $600+). part was received and to be installed 11/11/1999, however, new part was also defective and part was re-ordered. In checking, the technician found another problem with ABS--part estimated at $800. Received both parts and installed on 11/30/1999. $500 was applied under "warranty." Owner still had to pay total of $900+ for parts and labor for a system (ABS control module and ABS hcu unit) that should not have failed in a car this new! also, if the part ordered the first time was also defective, it would seem that there could be a major problem with these parts at manufacturer's level.
Suspension pulls to the left. Transmission would not go into reverse or grinds. Engine loses power with engine light on. Brakes pads on left side metal to metal. Second brake job. All problems still existas.
Driving approximately 25-30mph and caming to a stop, attempted to make a right turn, started to accelerate, vehicle started to slide, tried to turn back and vehicle started to go towards the curb. Hit the brakes and the vehicle did not stop and ran into curb.seat belts did not hold in place, daughter went forward and hit head on dash, then air bags deployed in a delayed reaction. Seat belts were replaced, but they don't know why they did not hold secure.
