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.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES DURING NORMAL BRAKING CONDTIONS/SMOOTH ROAD SURFACE, AND NO INCLEMENT WEATHER, IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP IN A SAFE DISTANCE. PROBLEM WAS WORSE ON WET ROADS. DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. IN OCTOBER OF1999, THIS PROBLEM CAUSED A REAR END CRASH. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. THE TRUCK IS A COMPANY OWNED VEHICLE. *AK

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
