DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT 10MPH OR LESS, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES PULSATED WHICH INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHO DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AFTER REPLACING THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR.
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.
