Owner report 11139000 · 2018-10-08 (October 8, 2018)

REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILURE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IN EACH OF THE LAST 3 YEARS. WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS THE ABS SYSTEM STOPS OPERATING. CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED AND TRACTION CONTROL IS DISABLED. VEHICLE IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE LOST UNTIL REPAIRED. BASED ON WEB SEARCHES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR. I HAVE NOT HAD A DANGEROUS INCIDENT WHEN THE SENSOR GAVE OUT THOUGH I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH SOME UNCOMMANDED BRAKING.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
