REPEATED BRAKE FAILURE. *PH IT SEEMED THAT THE BRAKES WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, STOP SIGNS OR LIGHT. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE TOO MUCH ENGINE HEAT TO THE MASTER CYLINDER, THEREFORE THEY INSTALLED A HEAT SHIELD BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND MASTER CYLINDER. THE VEHICLES PARKING BRAKE STOPPED WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES BURNED OUT. *NM

6 of 6 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
