Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Gas guage does not register unless the tank is totally full, then it just drops down to empty whenever it wants. I feel that this is a safety hazard due to ending up with an empty gas tank at any time. The only thing that I can do is try to keep track of my miles. This has also happened to a friend of ours whom also owns the same brand of van.”

NHTSA complaint #10049166, filed 2003-12, 50,000 miles“I have owed the vehicle for 53 days and have to have it towed 4 times and replace fuel pump twice, the battery once. Luckily the pump conked out while parked, and not at an intersection. My wife is pregnant with our third child, and the van has stranded her 4 times. I had the dealership run a check on the past repair history of the van and hey! The pump was replaced (by the previous owner) on 7/6/01 and again on 8/04/01. With the addition of my two pumps, that brings the total to 4, obviously. The van has 38000 miles and four fuel pumps, I think that speaks for itself. …”
