“The car in front of me came to the stop and so did I but as I hit my brake something blew up in my face and made me put my arms up and I lost visibility. The weird part is they went off at a rolling stop under 3 MPH .also last week my car brake switch almost started an electrical fire.”
NHTSA complaint #10876562, filed 2016-06, 89,000 miles“While filing my car with gas, drops of gas were dripping onto the concrete. I looked under my car and the fuel tank filler tube and gas tank gasket are leaking fuel directly onto my exhaust pipe. Had my exhaust been extremely hot, my car would have caught fire and exploded. Please recall this.”
NHTSA complaint #10480070, filed 2012-10, 121,000 miles“Tube from the gas nozzle has rusted away under the plastic tube that was wrapped around the steel tube causing gas to stream out of tube as the gas tank is being filled.”
