Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The fuel pump is located directly under the passenger side back seat. It has a leak, and my car has been smeeling like gas for a month now without my knowledge. I finally took it to a mechanic and there was a poddle of gas under the seat where the nipple on the fuel pump broke. Not to mention my battery in the trunk , well the wires cross right over the fuel pump. This is not safe at all. These items should be nowhere near each other.”
