WHEN A VEHICLE WAS TOWED, THE FRONT WHEELS DIDN'T MAKE SUFFICIENT CONTACT WITH THE ROAD WHICH RESULTED IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. *NLM THE VEHICLE WAS LIGHT IN THE IN THE FRONT END AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN IN THE SNOW OR RAIN WITHOUT LOAD. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE WITH THE LOAD ON THE BACK WITHIN THE VERTICAL SAFETY SPECIFICS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AT 30 MPH WITH THE LOAD DOWN A SMALL INCLINE. *SCC *JB
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.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
