Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

• NHTSA recall #99V193000July 19, 19991,125,749 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip

  Vehicle description: certain 4-WHEEL drive pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with ABS (antilock braking system) manufactured from september 1989 through august 1996. Under certain driving conditions the switch which signals the ABS system whether the vehicle is in 2-WHEEL or 4-WHEEL drive Can malfunction causing increased stopping distances during ABS stops while in the two-wheel drive mode.

  If this occurred at a time when minimum stopping distance was required, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace or repair the 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL drive switch.

  Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, 2 and 4-WHEEL drive. Solder joints near the wiring harness connector Can crack causing the windshield wipers to work intermittently.

  This condition Can result in inoperative wipers, reducing a driver's visibility, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
