Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The fuel gauge quit working. The dealer said this was due to a faulty fuel sensor and this was a fairly common problem. He blamed the ethanol in the gas and said we needed to use an additive to prevent it. If you rely on your gas gauge (who doesn't) and it reads full or part full and you run out of gas in traffic your vehicle could stop and get hit.”
