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.
Brake pedal would go down 1/2" to 3/4" to floor only when vehicle was sitting for a while or while applying brake at a stop position. Dealer/manufacturer were not notified at this time. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
The front brake rotors warped, causing the brakes to become mushy, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer and manufacturer have been notified.
First instance was in Dec 98, 2nd 6-21-99 cruise control stays on, cannot cancel or turn off, brakes go to the floor with no effect what so ever, have to turn the ignition key off and restart the engine in order to get out of cruise and get the brakes back (this is a little scarry when you have power steering). This was a life and death situation in traffic at highway speed on an approach to a severe turn on a exit ramp.
Had ABS braking failure during extreme adverse conditions, it was rainy/snowy weather.. the system seems to work, but can feel pulsation. Stopping distance is further than normal.
Driving at approximately 20 mph, began applying brakes, vehicle did not stop, or slow down, resulting in a rear end collision, airbags also did not deploy.
The ABS brakes do not perform well in snow and ice. While applying brakes in these road conditons, vehcile will not stop. Dealer noted that vehicle is operating to specs.
Owner has ABS brakes, he states that his ABS system does not work well in wet or icy wheather, this mostly occurs in the winter time, ABS failed, resulting in an accident. Cannot find anything wrong with vehicle.
