Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The engine began making a ticking noise which goes away after the engine warms up. My mechanic thought it might be the valve lifters but on closer inspection discovered that two of the six bolts that attach the manifold to the engine had snapped off. The repair will cost around $800 to $900.”
