Example complaints

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

“The truck was occasionally not turning over. Tried things like turning fan on, radio, etc and it would start. Security light comes on or will blink. Truck now is not turning over at all.

Truck was stationary-won't start.”

Aala, I assume, still applies. My truck did not have that information listed. …”

Also the transfer case input shaft seal failed which caused transmission fluid to leak into the transfer case, completely filling it. …”
