Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In researching whether or not a recall currently existed, I located the following information from another consumer who seem to have experienced the same problems: the vehicle emissions system indicator light appeared on display. The vehicle hesitates (jerks slightly) at speeds up to 60 MPH, cars also kills randomly while the car is in motion. I have made efforts to get the vehicle repaired but was told that the parts (fuel injections) do not currently exist due to the company who made the parts going out of business. …”
