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 traveling and upon making a sudden stop on wet pavement, the pedal traveled to the floorboard; brakes locked up, causing the vehicle to skid, resulting in extended stopping distance, causing two accidents on two different occasions. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Dealer has yet to replace any parts.
Pedal falls away when ABS is engaged. Too sensitive: Light sand on one side of road as at corners. On cobblestone pedestrian walkways at intersections and, when turning onto an entranceway as tire moves from pavement to concrete, pedal falls and loud disturbing sproung sound occurs and obvious cycle of pumping.
When driving the truck and applying foot to brake pedal, if there's any kind of bump in the road, loses braking power and the truck continues to roll forward.
Brakes have worn out more than once. Vehicle has little mileage, and traveling speed is approximately 30 mph when used. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem.
While driving vehicle about 40 mph there was another vehicle in front when consumer applied the brakes to stop vehicle before rear ending the other vehicle. Upon applying the brakes one of the wheels on the front of the driver's side locked up. Dealer nor manufacturer were contacted.
In November of 96 consumer was driving during icy conditions. Driving approximately 40 mph and tried to stop the vehicle, lost control, went into a spin and slid off road into a revine. Prior to losing control, consumer pressed the brakes, the pedal went to the floor but did not lock. On four other occasions when approaching an intersection and began to brake, the pedal went to the floor and the vehicle went past normal stopping distance.
When brakes are applied the brakes slip, and the pedal goes the the floor, resulting in extended stoppnig distance, causing the vehicle to collide. The dealer has changed the front brakes and rotors prior to the collision. Dealer has been made aware of the accident.
ABS brakes are subject to intermittent failure, causing extended stopping distance. Driver applied the brakes and the truck did not stop, the pedal went to the floor.
