Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I bought the vehicle 2 months ago. Since then I have put $750 into repairs and have estimates for $1000 more worth of repairs. The manufacturers problems included a rear main oil seal leak, an oil pan gasket leak, and a distributor switch leak. There was also a bent wheel, damaged tire, and bad starter. The dealer (dick morris chevrolet) will do nothing to fix it.”
