Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

ABS FAILURE. ALL THREE ABS ISOLATION VALVES CLOSED EITHER AT START OF BREAKING OR PRIOR TO BRAKING CYCLE, RESULTING IN NO POSSIBLE DEPRESSION OF THE BRAKE PETAL AND ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKING WHAT SO EVER, LITERALLY NONE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES AT WHATEVER SPEED THE VEHICLE WAS AT BEFORE INITIATION OF BRAKING. THIS NO BRAKE CONDITION HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AS SPEEDS FROM 15MPH TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. UPON RELEASING BREAK PRESSURE (TAKING ONE'S FOOT OF THE PETAL) AND REAPPLYING THE BREAKS THE LEFT FRONT ABS ISOLATION VALVE WOULD DE-ENERGIZE AND GIVE THE DRIVER THE LEFT FRONT BREAK ONLY. THIS FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT OVER THE LAST YEAR AND NOT WITNESSED BY ME UNTIL 1/13/2018. THE ABS FUSE WAS REMOVED AND THE BRAKES REMAIN WITHOUT ABS FUNCTION. THIS IS A MAJOR FAILURE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT AND MOST PROBABLY HAS. BUT, SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT AND DEAD PEOPLE CAN'T TESTIFY YOU PROBABLY DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF A DATA BASE. ALSO, AS AN ENGINEER MYSELF, THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT SHOULD PRECIPITATE THE COMPLETE DEACTIVATION OF AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS OF ALL VEHICLES WORLDWIDE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS ALL AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS CAN BE OVERRIDDEN BY MANUAL INPUTS WITHOUT FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH MANUAL INPUTS.
