Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I smelled smoke in my vehicle, so I pulled over. It seemed to be coming from the vent. My friend thought it was electical, so he started pulling fuses to stop the problem. I discerned that the problem was the motor that opened and closed the automatic door opener on the van. I told my friend to just get out and I called the fire department immediately, but by the time they had arrived my car was fully engulfed in flames. I am thankful that I did not have my children with me at the time as I don't know if I could have gotten them out in time. …”
