Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Upon disassembly of the intake system of my car, it was discovered that the wiring harness had completely disintegrated - the insulation used on the wiring had become hard and brittle, causing multiple shorts and preventing it from being re-installed in the vehicle. The entire engine harness had to be replaced to correct the problem. Total cost approximately $1100.”
