Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Prior to the transmission being destroyed from normal driving, the oil pan had to be replaced by the dealer ( wrong pan at the manufacturer). The computer had to be constantly adjusted for the carborator and gear ratio, this took about two months. The seat adjustment broke off and has not yet been replaced. With all of this it has cost me $600. Dollars in car rentals and $3,000. Dollars in lost work time.”
