Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The engine has been lossing coolant since the day that I acquired the car, march 18, 2000. There is also a rattle/clicking in the engine when it is operating cold, before warm up is completed. I spotted a collant leak on the drivers side of the engine near and just below the engine headgasket area. This could lead to coolant leaking on the ground and causing pollution if the leak gets worse. I have taken the car to the dealer for evaluation.”
NHTSA complaint #723328, filed 2000-05“While driving along at any speed the engine goes dead. When starting vehicle after stopping, in the parking gear, the vehicle starts up again immediately. The alternator was replaced on 9/9/ 97, and the battery a few days after that by dealership. Consumer is still experiencing a problem with vehicle cutting off.”
NHTSA complaint #816750, filed 1997-09“Whenever driving or waiting at a stop light vehicle would stall causing a safety hazard in middle of traffic. Have taken to dealership. Vehicle was test driven, but mechanic could not indicate exact cause of problem.”
