Example complaints

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

“A month prior to the fire my car smelled like there was some kind of leak. Smelled like gas. On february 10th, 2008 my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix gtp caught on fire and was totaled. I found this summary on a local website, summary: certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, p/nos. Fp10020-11b1, fp10026-11b1, and fp10027-11b1, sold after january 9, 2007, as aftermarket equipment for various passenger vehicles listed above. The universal pressure regulators (upr) were produced without an o'ring and retainer. Consequences: fuel may leak, possibly resulting in a fire. …”

NHTSA complaint #10221078, filed 2008-03, 112,000 miles

“Major window failure, only one window works, and too expensive to fix. My car has 70,000 miles and I have had fuel pump failure, total radiator failure, and two heat exchanger failures resulted in radiator fluid all over passenger side floor due too cheap crimps on heat exchanger which requires a hugh dash dismantle to fix, window failure, dash heat and A/C control failure. The car gets driven 11 miles a day to work and back and we have put $1000's into this piece of crap. Dealer and manufacturer could care less and want this website removed. No one is willing to do a thing. …”

NHTSA complaint #10186252, filed 2007-03, 75,000 miles

“The key will not come out of the ignition. It must be left in. The steering wheel does not lock in position. Dangerous to leave key in ignition. More likely to accidentally lock children inside with key when it won't come out by accident.”
