Example complaints

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

“Driving at freeway speed the vehicle losses power and the speed decreases to about 40 MPH. I can pull over and turn of the motor for about 10 seconds and start up and the vehicle will reset and run fine until it does it again randomly. This is very dangerous especially when you are in the left hand lane and you are trying to get to a safe place to pull over. This has happened several times and I have replaced the turbo resonator 3 time on this truck. This is a plastic part and the body cracks from the vibration and pressure.”
