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.
Sudden loss of brakes, pedal went to the floor. I pulled into a midas brake shop and they put the car in the lift and found that he entire brake line from the left rearwheel crossing over to the rt.rear wheel was corroded and full of pin holes.thiscar was well maintained but this is a problem that would not appear referenced in RQ03-004
Consumer was traveling on highway and was coming towards and intersection, went to apply brakes and there were no brakes. Also, there was no steering, forcing him into a guardrail. There were no injuries.
While applying the brakes the ABS brakes kick in, and the vehicle will not come to a stop. It seems like the harder driver presses on the brake, the pedal comes back up, preventing the veihcle to come to a stop. This does not happen all the times.
The brakes drag/ pull/ squeak/stick and they are just like rubber when stepping on them, this is on normal road condtions. The system has ABS. Consumer statess the engine will stop running frequently, dealer states there is not a problem.
