Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

BRAKES - I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 CALIPERS. EACH CALIPER FAILURE REQUIRED ME ALSO TO REPLACE THAT PAIR OF ROTORS. I AM CURREBTLY ON MY 3RD MASTER CYLINDER. EACH FAILURE HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY PEDAL FADING AT INTERSECTION AND CAR ROLLING INTO INTERESCTION. ACCIDENT AVOIDED BY PULLING UP THE HANDBRAKE OR PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE. FAILURE IN EQUALIZER RESULTS IN SEVERE PULLING TO ONE SIDE UNDER HARD BRAKING. ELECTRICAL - CAR STALLED AT 55 MPH. DESPITE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY AVOID OTHER VEHICLES, MANEUVER TO A SIDE STREET AND BRING VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. GAGES - THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAKING/RATTLE COMING FROM THE SPEEDOMETER GAGE. I AM UNCERTAIN WHETHER IT AFFECTS THE ACCURACY OF THE REPORTED SPEED.
