“On 01/23/17 I took a short drive in the car and I smelled a slight stench of gasoline but didn't think much of it at the time, until later on in the day when I had to take my car out again and the engine started smoking and burst into flames. The vehicle was stationary and the keys were in the ignition then I proceeded to started the car and that's when it happened, so im guessing it was fuel injection problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10949959, filed 2017-02, 210,000 miles“Was driving on a busy state highway in the rain and drove through a puddle. The serpentine belt slipped off and I lost the power steering, air conditioning, water pump.

In one of the three instances, the drive belt was shredded. After a quick search of the internet, literally hundreds of complaints about this were found. Fortunately, in our case, there has not been an injury to date, however a loss of power steering at the wrong moment could easily cause an accident. Likewise, loss of accessories such as the alternator and water pump could leave someone stranded. …”
NHTSA complaint #10252774, filed 2008-12, 80,000 miles“We were on the way to our vacation destination on 7/30/02 and pulled off the freeway for gas. The service engine soon light came on as soon as we pulled into the gas station. Once we were on the road again, the van would not come out of second gear. We were then forced to stop in a parking lot and got directions to the closest full service repair shop. (this all took place at 8:15pm in barstow, ca) the mechanic ran diagnostics on the van and thought it might be the sensor but would have to run more tests the following morning. We were, at that point forced to stay in barstow for the night. …”
