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.
Brakes grab causing vehicle to skid on wet pavement. Passengers are restrained by seat belts and loose items in vehicle tossed towards front. Will happen under light pedal application even when applied knowing the problem exits. Have almost slid of roadway on curves using extreme caution braking.
There is a serious flaw/design with the way the bar is attached to the brake pedal, also the brake pedal pad is way too small.when I am driving and I need to brake my foot hits the metal bar that supports the brake pedal, which makes it very uncomfortable to stop.on numerous occasions I almost hit the car in front of me due to this flaw.the design was very poorly planned, the bar is also attached to the right outside of the brake pedal in which other times when moving foot from gas pedal to brake your foot can also be blocked from getting to the brake pedal due to the bar that supports the brake pedal.
There is a serious design flaw/safety hazard with the way the bar attached to the brake pedal is structured. When the vehicle is in motion and I need to brake, the tip of my shoe makes contact with the skinny metal bar attached to the brake pedal. In other words, the only way to brake is to bend my shoe far enough for it to make contact with the brake pedal. This causes very uneven, jerky and erratic braking. In many cases, I have nearly rear-ended the vehicle in front of me because my shoe is not flexible enough to make fast contact with the brake pedal. I have several pictures which clearly show this design flaw.
