Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have noticed that a white smoke has been coming from under the hood, noticeably when the car is turned off, or when I am stopped. I have looked under the hood, and it seems to be coming from behind the engine, on the drivers side. I did replace the valve cover casket, and I thought that was the issue, and cleaned the engine. However, it is still occurring... I notice saturation on the two lines running behind the engines, but not sure if it a crack in the cylinder head. However, I am not loosing oil nor antifreeze. Also, they are not mixing in the engine. It is just happening there. …”
NHTSA complaint #10414885, filed 2011-07, 131,000 miles“I was changing my oil on my 1998 Plymouth Breeze expresso on july 7th 2009 around 7pm. I used the manufactured scissor jack and a jack stand to support the vehicle along with blocking off the tire. I was underneath the vehicle unscrewing the oil pan plug when the screw on the scissor jack gave out and the car fell on me nearly killing me. I went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with a crush injury.”
