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 braking system has given problems for approximately the last 1000 miles or so. I have had the vehicle in for repair 3 times, and have complained to the service personnel that I have to stand on the pedal to stop. When the brakes are used for a while they tend to not stop the car, but rather let the car glide to a stop, and thus make it difficult to know how much distance to leave between myself and other vehicles, and pedestrians. I have come close on at least 5 occassions to either hitting other cars or pedestrians. The service personnel first said they replaced the brake pads, and that the rotors were warped. I then took it in again, and they replaced an ABS sensor, next time they said they could not find a problem. The problem is intermittent, and thus unpredictable, and potentially life threatening. The service technicians find problems part of the time, and at others they don't. the pedal will push completely upward at times, and in essence the vehicle coasts to a stop, and is dangerous.
