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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

IN APRIL, 2005 I STARTED TO HAVE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE TRY TO KICK INTO ABS WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN MY 99 CHEVY TAHOE. IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT A VERY SLOW SPEED, ALMOST STOPPED. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED WAS NOTED ON THE RECEIPT AS A LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING. ONCE THAT WAS FIXED, THAT BRAKING PROBLEM STOPPED. *JB
