Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Noticed the smell of gas. Took to dealer where purchased. Fuel pump was fine, but the tube had corroded. Extended warranty purchased will not cover this because the pump did not fail. Failure was due to corrosion. The vehicle is only 5 years old! Cost estimate is over $600.00 to fix. Have to replace pump also. When repaired, I will ask for the old part. This vehicle has been in shop for repairs more than any one I have ever owned. (front wheel bearings went at about the same time, but were covered under the warranty).”

“General quality failure. Just a few of the problems 1. All of the recall notices 2. Front end bushings 3. Rear end bushing 4. Air conditioning replacement 5. 4 wheel drive engagement. 6. Door steps fall off 7. Love the vehicle except that the dealer shop forman gets to drive it more than I do. Had a 1999 blazer prior to this and it had quality issues also. Definitely go honda or toyota next time.”
