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 repairs every 3000 miles. Dealer cannot correct problem. 1. repaired: Brake pads/turned rotors/brake shoes and drums; 2. brake shoes and drums; 3. left and right drums; rear wheel cylinders, and brake shoes. Was told possible ABS problem. 4. brake master cylinder leaking /proportional valve. 5. brake recall, was told did not need done, 6. rods and master cylinder and left front caliper. As soon as vehicle gets close to 3000 miles brakes start grinding.
Braking system loses pressure when pedal is engaged. Ongoing problem that has gotten worse. New rotors and pads installed @ 50K miles, but problem not resolved. Pedal loses pressure when transmission changes to lower gear and vehicle has no braking power and "glides" until brakes "catch" again. Does this over and over during single braking/stopping incident. Pedal eventually pressed to floor with little effect.
Brakes are operating poorly, it is very difficult to stop car. Also, brakes make a squealing noise and pulsate. Dealer says that nothing is wrong with the vehicle.
Consumer experencing excessive wear of the front and rear brake pads and rotors, causing extended stopping distance when the brakes are applied to make a normal stop. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer has replaced parts. Problem still occurs,
