Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have smelled gas smell about a year after I got it when I would start it. They replace a leaking fuel injector in 2001 and another in 2002.when I called they told me they knew about the problem but I would have to pay for the repairs. This makes no sense because they admit they have a problem with them leaking gas. This seems dangerous to me. We were not notified about this problem yet they know about it. Why are people not being told.”
