Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The electrical power wires on the oem-installed fuel pump, located inside the vehicle's fuel tank, were installed so that they crossed over each other on their way from the connector outside the tank to the fuel pump inside. On three similar vehicles that we own these crossing solid core fuel pump wires came close enough to each other so as to touch. On this vehicle, however, the wires not only crossed but they touched and the wires were rigid enough that over the years they rubbed and wore away the insulation on both the red and the black electrical wires. …”
