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 the owner purchased the vehicle the brakes felt bumpy. The owner replaced the front rotors and pads. Then, the back rotors and pads were replaced as well. The vehicle only has 37,000 miles on it. The owner describes them as a grabbing feeling, the vehicle physically moves when the brakes are applied. When the back right rotor was inspected there were grooves. The pad had eaten into the rotor on the rear and front. All the brakes rusted.
