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.
In March, my son was on the on ramp about to get on I-65 in indianapolis, when everyone started breaking for a car who had ran out of gas. He brake, but he slid into the back of a semi driven by johnny deaton. This collision did $992 to our vehicle. We had the vehicle fixed at a cost of $ $492 (we had $500 deductible) at the end of may, we received a recall notice from Chevrolet sites the longer stopping distance required when breaking is due to a malfunctioning switch. My question is this--- should chevro;let be responsible for compensating us for this accident? thanks, steve schrink
Defective throttle plate got stuck, causing the vehicle to suddenly accelerate.also, braking system would not work. Had to turn off the vehicle in order to stop.
IE98077, due to small opening of the egr valve which carbon builds up and causes the egr valve to stick and cause loss of braking system which may result an accident. Dlr has a campaign to 7 years or 70,000 mile to get the egr valve fixed free of charge but it malfunction after the 70,000 miles.
ABS brakes; when applying the brakes in normal conditions, the pedal goes to the floor and there is an extended stopping distance. Replaced right front rotor and brake pads.
On wet road condtions when applying the brakes the pedal goes to the floor broad and the vehicle requires additional stopping distance. When going over a bump the brakes completely disengaged and the vehicle has no braking ability. Vehicle has not been seen by a dealer.
During emergency stopping, the pedal traveled to the floor on dry or wet pavement and the brakes failed, causing extended stopping distance which resulted ia a rearend collision.
