Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Very strong (suffocating) coolant smell in passenger compartment when heater and/or blower is engaged. When contacted the manufacturer about recall #607 (in 1994) for vehicles manufactured between 7/87 thru 6/92 (my vehicle manufactured 10/88) for 1989 Eagle premiers, they said it did not include my vehicle. The customer representative could not give me a reason when I told her this was the exact problem and why my vehicle was not included. It seems to be very convenient just to say that vehicle is not part of the recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #729436, filed 2000-08“A faulty gasket caused coolant to leak and as a result the coolant could be smelled inside of the vehicle. When the heater is turned on there is a loud noise. The dealer replaced the blower motor. The dealer will not repair the heater core which was recalled under 94v-006 because the vehicle is too old with too many miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10003848, filed 2003-01“Cable between crank position sensor and engine microprocessor not installed in a harness, allowing sensor/microprocessor connector to open, preventing gasoline from injecting into engine/preventing vehicle from starting, harness has now been installed/problem corrected.”
