Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Replaced heater core (A/C) door handles on driver and passenger door separated from inside door panel. Hesitation on start, and throughout driving range, seems indicative of fuel line, carb, or something internal. In the dealers shop as I type. Would turn over, but would not start, again seems like a fuel or carb issue. Don't know for sure though. Paint has been peeling for about a year now. It is a red, going to grey. Steering issues; steering column separated from housing, basically it was slowly unscrewing itself. Currently in shop, ignition wouldn't turn to off position.”
