Example complaints

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

“I took my 2001 Rodeo in for the 75,000 miles service today. The air conditioner (A/C) was blowing hot air. I figured it needed freon. I was informed by the seervice advisor that my vehicle needed an air conditioner compressor and gave me the charges. The warranty was good for powertrain. I am highly upset that the A/C compressor has gone out in less than three years. This should be a manufacturing malfunction at this early stage. I also was told I had to pay for the repair of my moon roof. It was either off track and something-nothing definitive. …”
