Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 GMC PICKUP. WHEN DRIVING SLOW, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES WOULD PULSE AS IF IT WERE BEING DRIVEN ON SNOW. THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS NOT CORRECT. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE CONSUMER WAS AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, AND WOULD VEER ONTO THE HIGHWAY. SUCH INCIDENTS HAPPENED AT LEAST 15 TIMES AND NOW IT WAS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *AK (11/17/05) THIS PROBLEM WOULD ALSO OCCUR ON DRY PAVEMENT. INSTEAD OF STOPPING THE VEHICLE WOULD EXTEND FURTHER IN DISTANCE. *SC
