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.
My 2000 ml with 47K miles suddenly locked on the brakes. The esp light had been showing on very rare occasions for 2 months. I had three instances of sudden lock-up of one or more tires before the dealer found that the "yaw sensor" had failed. All instances were at low cruise 30-40 mph with perfect conditions without the esp light showing. Some how I avoided accidents but this is very dangerous. The esp took control of the brakes and applied braking to one or more wheels in an attempt to bring the truck under control. The car was in perfect control traveling in a straight line but the erroneous sensor information caused it to apply the brakes without warning.
Bas/esp light comes on, brakes engage, steering wheel turns to the right...happens at speeds 60 mph and higher; car difficult to control, no warning--I have used two category options on the form, but I really do not know which options to choose to describe the above problem...SUV has done this on expressway driving over and over for the past 6 years....each time the dealer thinks they have fixed the problem....
