THIS VEHICLE WAS TOWED AT 50 MILES FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS. I SPENT MONEY EVERY 8000-12000 FOR BRAKE RELATED REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. ABOUT 4000 MILES AFTER EACH REPAIR, THE VEHICLE WOULD SWERVE INTO THE NEXT LANE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED, I PAID A NEW DEALER TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE REAR BRAKES LIKE NEW WITH 91000 MILES. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A HISTORY OF DEFECTIVE ABS MODULATOR VALVES, A $1500 PART. THIS VALVE WAS REPLACED AND THE BRAKES PERFORM AS DESIGNED. AFTER 6 YEARS AND 91000 MILES, I CAN DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT FEAR OF SWERVING INTO ANOTHER LANE, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WHICH I'VE CORRECTED ON MY OWN AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED; HOWEVER, THEY WEREN'T SAFETY RELATED. *AK

16 of 16 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.
