WHILE DRIVING THRU THE MOUNTAINS IN TN. I HAD TO MAKE AN EXTREMELY HARD STOP DUE TO A TRAFFIC ISSUE. I FELT THE TRAILER SLAM INTO THE BACK OF MY TRUCK AND ALMOST TURNED THE TOW VEHICLE SIDEWAYS. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE BACK UP SOLENOID HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT OF ITS FITTING THAT ATTACHES IT TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE END RESULT WAS THE LOSS OF ALL BRAKE FLUID RENDERING THE BRAKES INOPERABLE. *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.
