Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car was destroyed in the fire. Fire occurred while being driven. It appeared that a signal was being transmitted to pump more gas even though cruise control was not engaged. Eventually, gasoline from the line ignited while driving, leaving a trail of lighted fuel on the highway. I pulled over, and the car became engulfed in flames. Liquid fire could be seen pouring out of area under the hood below the windshield near the foot well.”
NHTSA complaint #704276, filed 1999-03“Engine fails without warning, car stalls while sitting warming up or traveling with no warning. When engine stalls, can occasionally be restarted. Have had a computer chip and feul pump replaced and problem still exists. Water pump is now getting very noisy and also will need to be replaced now. While under warranty, we expressed concern over the temperature seemed to be rising and the car not operating smoothly. Reassured there was no problems to be found.”
