Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I understand an ignition module is supposed to last the lifetime of a car. Mine failed at about 44,000 miles, if I'm not mistaken. Fortunately no one was hurt; the car stalled as we were pulling out of a parking lot. Still there clearly is a problem, and you need to address it.”
