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.
When attempting to start the vehicle, the brake pedal builds up pressure, sticks, and is not able to be pressed down to start the vehicle. All of the lights will turn on but the engine will not start. The brake lights will not signal at that time as well. In getting a jump start, the vehicle is able to start. After this occurs, while the vehicle is still running, whenever the car is at a stop and the brake is pressed, it shakes intermittently. The battery as well as the brake switch have been tested with the dealership and both are in working order. The inability to start the vehicle has happened several times in public places and at the home where the vehicle is kept. The shaking of the car upon braking happens every time the car has trouble starting.
Safety issue. Car failed to brake causing collision. Car was stopped at yield, proceeded to move forward in line, and when tried to stop brake pedal did not respond. Pedal bottomed out without resistance, completely soft.
