Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Since l998 my car has failed to start and after repeated efforts, when the engine has cooled off, it will start unexpectedly. I have even called the aaa and by the time they arrive, the car will start on its own. I have replaced (at my expense) one starter; and the dealership replaced (at their cost) another). In addition, as their suggestion, I disengaged by security system, as it was possible that a short was causing a malfunction, and freezing the engine. The starting problem persists on an on again/off again basis. …”
