In this particular circumstance my husband was pulling into our driveway, when he hit the brakes to stop we did not have brakes, our vehicle rammed into our garage door. On numerous occasions my brakes have went out when driving the vehicle, I have personally went through stop lights and stop signs because my brakes were ineffective.
Abs failure at low speeds. Traveling at a speed of 25 MPH applied brakes to stop vechile, pedal started pulsing and dropped to floor. Brakes never slowed vechile and crashed into rear of another vechile. Had about 4 car lenghts to get vechile stopped.
I was driving the vehicle and applied the brakes for a red light. The brakes failed to respond and actually surged causing me to hit the person in front of me and resulted in an accident. The brakes are locking and burning. Took vehicle to dealer and they cannot find the problem. They say it needs brakes but I had the brakes checked by a mechanic and I know that it is not the problem. He told me to take it back to the dealer. I thought it could be the calipers or something in the braking system. The vehicle is making pinging noises and pulling to the right. It will indeed cause another accident unless it is resolved.
Consumer states the brake pads have been replaced 4 times and the rotorswere reusrfaced twice, also the rear brakes were adjusted, this work was performed on 4 occasions due to a metal sound being heard and the vehicle being hard to stop.
Consumer states pulled into parking lot. When depressed brake pedal vehicle surged forward and hit a tree. Consumer also advised that previously while driving, applied brakes and vehicle coasted through a stop sign narrowly avoiding a collision. Mr
Consumer states that while coming to a stop the brakes failed and the consumer could not stop, there was no prior warnings. Contacted dealer. Nlm
When approached a red light, driver applied brakes, vehicle did not stop, and went trhough intersection. Vehicle has done similarly in atleast two other ocassions. When applying brakes it produces a loud noise, and brakes faile to respond ( as the last incident) or extended braking distance. Out of the three incidents two were at speeds of 35 to 40 miles, and one at the speed of 60 miles. The failure to respond is intermittent , but clunking and clapping noises from the front brakes are a more persisten and common. Vehicle has been in dealer for front brake reapirs for 8 different times in 2 years. Failure of brakes to respond is agravated when there are "bumps" in the road.
Transmission intermittently would slip when accelerating from a stop position or while traveling at a regular speed. Vehicle been in / out of dealer shop on two or more occasions, and unable to locate cause. *ak the vehicle stalls on the road and would not restart. The dealer repaired all connection at starter and engine. Also the vehicle had popping sound when brakes was applied due to problem with rear right suspension and tire. The driver side seat riser was inoperable. The vehicle had a roaring noise on hard stop and extended crank intermeting rough stand due to rotors failure.
Intermittently when applying brake pedal it would pulsate. When this occurs, driver has to apply brake pedal harder to get vehicle to stop;. Vehicle been in dealer shop on five or more times, and unable to duplicate the problem. *ak the vehicle shifts hard and the brake pedal feels spongy. The driver side seat riser not operable. The brakes vibrate. The left window was inoperable. The vehicle had coolant leak.
Upon depressing brake pedal whenever there is a bump in road surface consumer heard a loud noise, and brakes failed to respond, causing extended stopping distance. Consumer has contacted dealer, dealer unable to determine cause of problem. Please provide any further details.
While driving on highway went to apply brakes, and the pedal was sticking/ wouldn't go all the way down. Also, was pulling from the right front wheel.
When depressing the brakes vehicle would pull to left or right/hard to handle. This is intermittent. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information.
When approaching a stop driver applied the brakes, vehicle did not stop, and proceeded through an intersection. Also, power steering and power brakes were lost. This happened without any kind of warning. Van was towed to the dealership for repairs. *ak
