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.

REAR SEAL IN A/T BLEW OUT CAUSED BY REAR BEARING FAILURE. A/T FLUID THEN CORRODED PARKING BRAKE LINE CAUSING PARKING BRAKE TO NOT GRAB. MECHANIC TOLD ME REAR BEARING FAILED DUE TO OPPOSITE MOVEMENT IN A/T WHEN IN GEAR OR PARK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON PARKING BRAKE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. ALSO TWO RECALLS NOW 05V-303 AND 05V-304. COULD EITHER OF THESE CAUSE THIS ISSUE? I BELIEVE THIS IS DANGEROUS DUE TO PARKING BRAKE NOT GRABBING AND VEHICLE COULD ROLL DOWN HILL. *NM

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
