Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I had the car serviced by a mechanic because I had check engine light faults. Water pump and thermostat was replaced. Spark plugs and cops were replaced. Some of the fuel injectors were also replaced. Mechanic asked me to drive the car for 100 miles to see if any check engine issues will reappear. The vehicle first began stating it had low oil pressure and would not allow me to check the oil level, it would continue to just stop at 15%. I then restarted the vehicle and the indicator went away for the low oil pressure. …”
