REAR BRAKES FAILED AFTER DRIVING 31 MILES FROM HOME. TOLD IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON WORKHORSE CHASSIS. REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED, AND FRONT BRAKES SERVICED. DROVE ANOTHER 30 MILES AND THEN THE FRONT BRAKES FAILED. AM CONCERNED THAT IF I CONTINUE DRIVING THIS UNIT I MAY HAVE FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM.

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.
Equal-age model-year comparison
