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.
I took my Lexus 2000 because it shimmied badly. The dealer could not loosen the nut because the whole cylinder disc assy was rusted so badly that they have to saw it off. The brake pad could not even move, they have to change the arm that connect braking. I was never warned about this problem.
When braking there was a popping noise, and vehicle took longer to slow down. Consumer had to apply more pressure. This progressed to clicking and squealing associated with smell of fire, like rotors were grinding. Took to dealer, and they lubed the brakes, and pivoted points. This stopped the noise, but did not fix the problem. Consumer has continued to have the problem every 3000 miles.
