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.
The right rear wheel was making a high pitched nose for almost 8 months. I was told there was nothing wrong. Eventually the high pitched noise turned into a loud grinding noise and was told the "outside" brake, (which has no sensor) had been locked in place and caused the breaks to wear completely down to metal on metal. This required me to buy new brakes for both sides. It seem to me to be a malfunction in the car but the dealer said it is a "wear and tear" item so it is not covered by the warranty. If it was just wear and tear why did only one side wear down to the metal and why isn't there a sensor for this. It appears to be a malfunction in the braking system if there truly is no sensor for the "outside" brake pad.
