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.
When originally purchased, the car would not pass inspection R/T brakes and emissions. The dealership got the vehicle to pass inspection, but I took the vehicle in on 2-3 different occasions for problems with the brakes failing to stop the car properly along with the vehicle speeding up. They replaced a part that caused the speeding up, but claimed the brakes were ok. After that the vehicle was brought back 3 more times for the intermittent brake faillure/slow response, nearly causing several major accidents, along with an ungodly noise when the ABS system failed and locked up. ABS light went on and a pump was replaced, but then the original problem of brake failure and speeding up occurred causing accident. Personal injuries occurred. This vehicle has nearly killed me on 4 different occasions because of this problem and nearly seriously hurt my daughter on the day of the accident. It was clearly equipment failure.
