Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle stalls due to electrical fuse problems. The wipers, turn signals and interior lighting may also be effected by the electrical fuse problem. The air conditioner failed and the exhaust fell off the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10022837, filed 2003-07, 65,000 miles“My wife was traveling 5-7 MPH on ice, the car spun and hit the curb (it did not go over the curb, just hit it). No damage was initially done to the vehicle, other than the fact that it stalled. When she tried to restart it, it would not start. After 5 minutes, she got out, walked away, and the vehicle exploded and caught on fire. This should never happen! If she were traveling any faster, she may be dead.”
NHTSA complaint #758757, filed 2002-02“Consumer has experienced excessive fuse blowing, causing the turn signal to become inoperative . Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer has replaced the fuse. Consumer had the fuse replaced on a number of times.”
