Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On board diagnostic system (check eng. Light) monitors emissions, but can be tripped off by a loose fuel filler cap as per the owner's manual explanation sec. 4-32. It seems that this is a safety problem when such a light can come on with such regularity that it is listed in the vehicle owner's manual and yet the owner is supposed to heed the light each and every time regardless of his or her driving predicament? Such an obviously faulty sensor system shouldn't be allowed in cars. …”
NHTSA complaint #753439, filed 2001-10“When filling up gas tank to full and driving 140 miles gas gauge will read empty. Also, engine light is constanly coming on because of a 02 sensor failure. Please provide any further information.”
NHTSA complaint #8003426, filed 2002-02“Engine check light will come on intermittently. Also, light will stay on for days at a time or just hours at a time. Contacted dealer, and dealer cannot find the problem.”
