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 failure causes brake to lock up, pull to the side and make control of vehicle extremly difficult, brakes heat up (smelled burning), dealer replaced calipers, front disc brakes, resurfaced rotors but problems still exist.

Vehicle has ABS brakes. Vehicle pulls left to right when brakes are applied. Causing vehicle to enter another lane. Dealers are unable to correct problem. Dealer will correct problem if consumer pays for repairs.
When braking on loose gravel or wet road the brakes will lock up in the front under normal application quite often after parking vehicle for a short while, when driving away the brake pedal will be hard and the brakes lock up. Dealer has not be able to correct or state the problem.
Front brake rotors have warped from being hot. Have been turned once and replaced once. (owned by auburn university, fisheries dept. Auburn university, al 36849) consumer states he noticed the brakes would pump when making a stop, mechanic advised consumer that the metal alloy in the rotor might be the cause, the rotors were turned but problem came right back, and the next time they were replaced, also vehicle shimmers in the front end when consumer hits a small bump in the road, the entire fornt would vibrate violently, dealer replaced the front shocks which helped for awhile, later the steering box was replaced and that seemed to have helped the problem.
