APPARENTLY, THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED MY SUBURBAN TO FAIL TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. NO AUTO REPAIR SHOP COULD IDENTIFY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NUMEROUS COSTLY REPAIRS WERE MADE THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS DANGEROUS FOR MONTHS BEFORE I RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IF THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER COUNTRIES THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT REPAIR SHOPS ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

Reading this record

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.
