Example complaints

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

“Everytime I check my oil there is never any oil in there. I am constantly having to put oil in my car. The other night I was driving and my car just started shaking. The air and heat stopped working. I took my car to the shop and they said I needed a tune up and that my #2 spark plug had blown. I then had the tune up and #2 spark plug changed and my car still is not running right. I took it to another mechanic who basically laughed at me and told me the 2.7 engine were horrible. He told me I had oil sludge and that I might as well not even bother getting my car fixed. …”
