Vehicle was losing brake fluid which caused brakes to fail. When brakes fail brake pedal goes to the floor, losing all functions. Brake fluid has to be in vehicle at all times in case of a refill. Dealer was notified. Please provide more information.
There was a noise coming from front brakes. Took vehicle to dealer, and they replaced pads and turned rotors. *ak consumer feels that the materials used in the brake rotors are not up to standard.
I had to have the tank on master cylinder replaced due to seeping of brake fluid. No obvious source of the leak was determined. It seemed to be coming from around the rubber seals where the tank attaches to the master cylinder. The first warning of the leak was the brake warning light. Upon checking the fluid it was discovered to be very low. It was refilled to the proper level. The tank area was well cleaned and dried. Within hours the tank was again wet with fluid. The level gradually decreased over the next several days as the fluid seeped out. No brake failure was observed, on loss of fluid from the tank. I had a local mechanic purchase a new tank from a dealer and put it on the car. New rubber seals were provided with the tank. Time will tell if this has fixed the problem.
Master cylinder leaked into the power brake booster which caused my entire brake system to fail. If the vehicle had been moving at the time of failure, it could have caused many fatalities. The dealer fixed it at no cost, however, I believe that this component should be investigated. The dealer was not concerned that this could have caused many fatalities.
Snow or ice leaked into my rear brakes, my rear brakes locked up and van immediately stopped. There was a load pop when this happened. The van had to be towed to the dealer. We were not injured because we were going very slowly when this happened but it could have been tragic if we had been in heavy traffic or traveling at a high speed. I think this could be a problem on other vans like ours and that it has probable caused some serious crashes.
Consumer was traveling 55mph on highway and there were deers in the middle of the road dancing. However, deers were far away, up the road. There was time for vehicle to stop. Consumer applied the brakes two times, but brakes didn't stop. Vehicle. Third time she applied the brakes, they grabbed a little bit. But, it was too late,vehicle ran into the deers. Vehicle suffered damage. Dealership was aware of malfunctioned brakes. There was air in brake lines. Rotors were heated because pads and rotors were blue, and pads and rotors were replaced.
Rotors have rusted from inside, resulting in a collision. Dealer has inspected vehicle.
Consumer has a intermittent problem with brakes. Has to increase stopping distance to stop. Dealer says the brakes are the best design for the vehicle.
This van is very unsafe I need help
Rear axle of broke! Axle broke on inside of right rear wheel/brake assembly. Caused brakes to fail as continued on three (3) wheels. We skidded left and right, turned into the skids, almost hitting other motorists and vehicles. Almost went over embakements. Frame bent. New tire at time.
Intermittently when brakes are depressed pedal goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance, and vehicle vibration. Dealer has inspected vehicle several times, and has not been able to duplicate the problem.
