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.
ABS system too sensitive. System engage over rough pavement then failed to allow the brakes to grip again resulting in a near collision with a tollbooth. Pedal will drop to floor with near 0 braking.
Very concerned about my brakes: This only happens after backing up and moving forward. At this point when I apply the brake to stop, I'll either hear a clank or clank, clank sound from under the car. I can't tell if it's from the front left or right front. It almost sounds like a rock coming loose from the tire and hitting the wheel well at 55 mph but I'm only moving at 5 mph. I took the car to mark thomas motors to have it checked out and their report says they couldn't find anything wrong and that this is typical and not a problem. I believe this is a potential problem and this sound could be causing damage to part(s) that could lead my brakes to fail when I need them. I need assistance in this matter. Thanks - rich.
Brakes: The pedal feel is too soft or the engagement is late, the pedal has to go almost all the way to the floor before the brakes engage engine/tranmission: Car will hesitate going from first to second gear usually around the 1K to 2.5K RPM. The car bucks, and bounces.
