Owner-reported complaints naming the brake system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Brakes 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.

I HAD A RECALL PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR AT MARTIN DODGE IN BOWLING GREEN, KY. AFTER GETTING THE SERVICES RENDERED ON THE VEHICLE I NOTICED SEVERAL PROBLEMS. ONE WAS THAT TURN SIGNALS WERE NO LONGER OPERABLE, AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT PAST SECOND GEAR AND WOULD MISS GEARS REPEATEDLY, ALSO, ABS BRAKE FAILED. IN ADDITION, MY SUSPENSION WAS WORSE AFTER THEY PERFORMED SUSPENSION RECALLS. I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP , AND THEY ONLY SUGGESTED THAT I BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AT MY COST, EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEMS EXISTED AFTER GETTING THE RECALLS FIXED. LONG STORY SHORT, I INCURRED COURT COST OF $166.00 BECAUSE OF IMPROPER EQUIPMENT AND THE BUY, HERE, PAY HERE LOT IS REQUESTING $2,280 FOR A CAR THAT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO JUNK OUT BECAUSE OF IT NOT BEING ABLE TO PASS INSPECTION FOR THE ROAD. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO AID IN ME ABSORBING THE COST OF THIS SITUATION.*AK
