Owner-reported complaints naming the other system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Other / unspecified reportsComplaints 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.

Crash reported1 injury reported
WHILE PULLING OUT ON TO THE MAIN STREET FROM A RESIDENTIAL HOUSING AREA, BOTH LANES CLEAR OF ON COMING TRAFFIC..DRY/SUNNY DAY.....12 NOON SATURDAY....AS I PULLED OUT I SAW 60 YARDS AHEAD TRAFFIC IN MY LANE WAS STOPPED FOR A VEHICLE 3-4 CARS AHEAD OF ME MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. MY SPEED WAS UNDER 25 MPH AND WHEN I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES MY 1999 SUBURBAN 2WD WOULD NOT STOP. I APPLIED MY BRAKES WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE STOPPED VEHICLES, BUT MY SUBURBAN CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH LITTLE OR NOT STOPPAGE. I TRIED TO DITCH THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT BUT COULD NOT DUE TO A TELEPHONE POLE, ROAD SIDE CEMETERY AND TREES. AT THE TIME I SAW THE ON COMING LEFT LANE DID NOT HAVE VEHICLES COMING SO I PULLED OUT INTO THAT LANE. I PASSED 2 OR 3 OF THE VEHICLE IN MY LANE BEFORE A VEHICLE TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE TOWARDS ME CAME. I TRIED TO STEER THE SUBURBAN TO THE LEFT INTO THE DITCH. I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND COLLIDED HEAD ON WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON BUT THE SEAT BELT DID NOT STOP ME FROM HITTING MY HEAD ON THE WIND SHIELD CAUSING A STAR BURST CRACK IN THE GLASS. BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED....CW *JB

WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY OR FAST, AT DIFFERENT TIMES, AND NOT EVERY SINGLE TIME, TURNING TO THE RIGHT AROUND A CURVE OR TURNING A CORNER THE STEERING HOLDS THE TURN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN LETS GO OF THAT HOLD. I CAN CORRECT IT BY SLIGHTLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND THEN BACK INTO THE TURN. SOMETIMES IT HOLDS THE SECOND TIME AND SOMETIMES IT LETS GO AGAIN. THIS IS REPEATED UNTIL THE END OF THE CURVE OR TURN. STEERING GEAR, PITMAN ARM, STEERING PUMP ALL REPLACED AND PROBLEM STILL IS PRESENT. *LA
