What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
As a result, the steering and brakes failed. Then, vehicle crashed into a pole. No report of air bag deployment.
While driving, an accident occurred and the air bags did not deploy. Please provide any further information. Please provide vehicle identification number.
The brakes failed as the driver was pulling into a parking space. As a result the vehicle hit the building causing $2500 in damage to the truck. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and the mechanic determined that the control sensors needed to be replaced.
Upon impact my head was snapped backeards and actually went through the rear window, shattering it and causing a concussion severe enough to cause me to to be unable to continue to work. There was no head restraint or bumper or pad extending hugh enough from the back of the seat to cussion the head.
Brake pedal goes completely to the floor under severe braking conditions.
Consumer parked vehicle on a steep hill and the vehicle took off down the hill.
