Example complaints

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

“The alternator/starter go out every 6 months, the fuel pump has been replaced 8 times, the left turn signal does not blink, the brakes go out every 6 months, I think there was a recall on the brake system. The power steering has to be refilled every 100 miles. The drivers side power window does not work. The window is down about an inch and will not go up or down.”

NHTSA complaint #753865, filed 2001-10

“A broken plastic anti-slosh baffle caused the sender unit to give a false indication of 1/2 tank of gasoline when tank was empty, resulting in engine shutting down while traveling.”

NHTSA complaint #514645, filed 1997-02

“As near as I can tell, the problem is related to one or more tsbs that have been issued. But it appears to be specifically related to TSB #676303 - phantom stalls at closed throttle and high engine load. This problem poses a serious safety threat. In detail what happens is that the engine stalls when you approach an intersection and are shifting down, using brakes, and turning. When the engine quits in a turn, the power steering quits. Anyone with slow reactions or lacking the physical strength to steer the car without power is in for a serious accident. …”

NHTSA complaint #712999, filed 1999-10
