Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle started idling very roughly after it had warmed up or when turning a corner, it would almost cut off. Consumer could smeel fumes, took to mechanic, and it was a fuel injector leak.

NHTSA complaint #878006, filed 2001-01“Fuel injection was replaced three times. Also, consumer had a problem starting the vehicle. To obtain speed consumer had to completely depress the acceleration pedal.”
NHTSA complaint #10089373, filed 2004-08“Fuel being injected back into engine. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that fuel injector kit must be purchased to correct problem. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.”
NHTSA complaint #877979, filed 2001-01“Problem was noticed the moring after the Jimmy was refueled. Upon inspection the rear seam of the fuel tank was rusted to the point of leaking fuel all over my garage, causing a strong gas smell. The cause appears to be that the two metal ( tank and frame) parts are to close allowing dirt and road residue to set in an impossible to clean area causing rust. With the gas dripping this could be a fire hazzard with the license plate wireing running close to the gas.”
NHTSA complaint #713233, filed 1999-10“Consumer was backing up into carport and noticed flames coming from rear of vehicle near fuel tank. Fire was started by gas leaking on exhaust pipe. Owner seeks reimbursement for repairs.”
