Example complaints

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

“My husband was driving home from work on paper mill road in newark, delaware and heard a kerthunk from the engine. He pulled over to the hard shoulder of the road, saw he had not run over anything, and then saw oil gushing onto the road from the motor. A few minutes later, as he was sitting in the stationary car, he saw the hood of the car starting to bubble. He exited the vehicle and the car went up in flames. The fire department came and extinguished the fire -- that process took around 15 minutes. The delaware state patrol (officer ferguson) arrived on the scene and had the car towed. …”
