Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving on the highway, when I noticed a sudden loss of power. The steering and brakes were difficult to use and the check engine light was flashing. I managed to get to the side of the road. The car would not start once stopped, later I noticed that when I tried to turn the engine over, gasoline was spewing out near the rear passenger door and near the exhaust pipe! I immediately stopped trying to start the car and left for a call box to get a tow. I got it towed to the sacramento Saab dealer where they said the retainer for the fuel pump broke. …”
