Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the interstate at about 55 MPH a cloud of smoke came from under the vehicle. When pulled over and hood lifted I noticed a fire on driver side of engines. Car was towed to dealer and I was informed that the repairs were going to cost $2000 and up not considering the block that had been cracked from fire damage. Fire was due to a failure in the radiator and the water pump.”
