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 applying brakes on dry road surface ABS would intermittently engage itself from 10-0 mph and cause the brakes to momentary lock up. The vehicle has been to the dealer on two separate occasions and they were unable to duplicate the problem. The consumer was concerned that this may cause a vehicle crash if this issue continued. When decreasing speed to 15 mph or lower the brake pedal would begin to push back and tremble. There would also be a spring like noise which would sound like the ABS when engaged in winter driving conditions. The rear wipers were inoperative. Also when the defrost was on, the vehicle idle would go up extremely high, then drop, stall out and sometimes the ABS would activate when driving conditions were normal.
While coming to a stop sign consumer depressed the brakes, vehicle never slowed down, and ran through the intersection. Vehicle had four brakes jobs done, and was still having the same problem.
