Example complaints
Fuel system: “After flooring the gas pedal, it stuck to floor caused vehicle to continue accelerating. Once had to shutoff engine another time it happened briefly and fixed itself. Upon inspection I noticed a piece of metal wire splintered and would get caught in other parts when fully depressing accelerator pedal. Bought replacement for throttle cable link. I think this will fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10604667, filed 2014-06, 216,000 milesBrakes: “Was going approx. 15mph & heard a high pitch squeal, like metal to metal, coming from left rear brakes while in mountains. Took brakes apart & noticed pieces of metal on emergency brakes. Had them replaced after taking pieces out. Had taken vehicle in previously when light came on & nothing found.”
NHTSA complaint #849540, filed 1999-09Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “Since it doesn't rain much in phoenix az, this has only happened twice. While driving in a light rain, with the wipers set on intermittent, they quit operating after a period of time. Quite disturbing when you cannot see where your going. After pulling off of the highway and pausing for 20 min, the wipers may again work. Some times it takes a couple of hours. I have tested all of the wiper circuits via the service manual recommendation, with out finding a failure.”
