Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2001: “I received a check engine light code that indicated a evap system leak. Then I noticed the smell of fuel after filling up and a puddle on the ground. Examined fuel filler pipe and fuel tank and discovered the filler pipe near the fuel tank is corroded and leaking fuel. I could not determine the exact location of the leak.”
NHTSA complaint #10983895, filed 2017-05, 109,000 miles1994: “My daughter was involved in a car accident, she was on the freeway going 65 MPH when the speed limit was 75 MPH. She was driving a 1994 Infiniti G20. The front and back of the car was completely ruined, yet the airbags never deployed. I trust the that the car ar made following all safety regulations, and that these are working. I do not know how these could have failed in the time thy are supposed to work.”
NHTSA complaint #10073008, filed 2004-05, 151,000 miles1996: “When my daughter went to buckle her seatbelt in the back seat of my car, the buckle wouldn't latch. I tried it, too--the metal piece slid into the other part without latching. Then it'd latch; next try it wouldn't. I couldn't trust the seatbelt, so we couldn't let the children ride in that car any longer. Thankfully the seatbelt failed when we were buckling the child in the car in the driveway heading out--and not during an accident, or on the way home. I'm mad that the seatbelt could fail without warning like that. How can I trust that the seatbelt will work properly when it's needed???!! …”
