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.
Brake line failure between ABS flow control and rear brakes. Followed by a second failure about a month later with a front brake line. Replace all lines at that point due to rusting. Vehicle was garaged in new england, and spent last 3 winters in Florida where the lines failed.
I was backing out of my driveway (down hill slope) and lost power steering and braking in my 2006 GMC 2500hd diesel truck. I put the transmission in neutral and deployed the emergency brake to stop. The mechanic determined the power steering pump had failed and this resulted in the hydro boost failure with subsequent brake loss. After replacing the power steering pump the power steering lines split two weeks later.
While braking at low speeds and coming to a full stop, truck lurches forward and brake pedal goes down 1/8 of an inch. Driver must use more brake to stop truck ( this is with no load in truck at all, only passenger ). also while stopped and turning the wheel left or right to park, steering wheel looses power steering until brake is released and truck starts rolling. Had truck looked at twice before at dealer for same problem ( once at 32,000 and again at 35,000 ) and was told, as long as no hard codes or failures are found, they were unable to address the issue.
