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.

WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR I KNEW THAT THEIR WERE SOME ISSUES THAT WOULD COME ABOUT, BUT I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE RADIO WILL GO OFF AND MY WINDOWS WILL NOT WORK, WIPERS WON'T WORK, MY DASH LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AND THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK AT ALL SOMETIMES IT LAST UP TO HOURS BEFORE I CAN GET THEM TO COME. I CAN TURN THE CAR ON AN TRY TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT WONT WORK IT TAKES ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX THESE ISSUES WITH MY CAR, I LOVE IT VERY MUCH AND WILL BE UPSET IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO HER. SO FAR SO GOOD NO ACCIDENTS TO REPORT THIS TIME HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME THE SAME IF THERE IS A NEXT. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE AT SLOW SPEEDS. MY FOOT WOULD BE ON THE BRAKE COMING TO A STOP AND THEN THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE CAUSING THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD REQUIRING MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. RECALL 05V37900 IS AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM. *JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT EVERY 3000 TO 4000 MILES THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED REPLACED DUE TO VIBRATION. CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THE HOT SUN IS WARPING BRAKES AND ROTORS. HOWEVER, DEALER BELIEVES THAT THE CONSUMER IS SLAMMING ON BRAKES AT 80 MPH AND THAT'S WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *AK
