Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“It dies going down the road at any speed, or pulling out of driveways, or at intersections. No accidents yet, it is an accident waiting to happen. The pump has been replaced 5 times, and now out of warranty, they say nothing can be done about it, we will just have to pay ourselves. It has been a continued problem, and feel the company should fix the problem again before someone gets badly hurt or is killed. Since there is no warning, and can die, just like you are turning the engine off. Please help. We wanted this note on record before something bad happens. …”
