Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving the car on the hwy. When we reached 65 MPH like a lot of these other people are saying but it was my distributor that went out. Since I have a manual transmission it would start and drive but every time it reached 65 MPH or 3400 RPM the engine would sputter and stall out. Also I have had to put a second engine in the vehicle due to a timing belt slipping and breaking the lower unit off the car. The air conditioner pulley had 5 screws break off causing the A/C to blow out, I had to replace it . …”
