Example complaints

Electrical system: “Recall 17v-435 for alternator diode potential fire has been out since june of 2007. We signed onto the list to be notified of when the parts are in, but we have never received a notice. Looking now, we see that the status still shows awaiting parts. So, this is a followup complaint that if this is important enough to warrant a recall, we are now in the 6th month following. Doesn't NHTSA think enough time has elapsed to have the parts to repair this safety hazard?”

Fuel system: “Fuel pump cracked at top of fuel pump. Car has low milage 11,300 and for the safety of others we feel it should be a recall on the pump. The pumps sit under the back seat of car.

Our car had sit in the garage and we are so thankful the gas furnace or something else did not ignite the gas standing on top of pump”
