Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Fuel leak on passenger side fuel rails in weather below 30' f. Substantial amount of fuel is leaking due to the rubber hoses underneath the intake manifold not being tightened enough. There is a TSB on this matter however I'm past my warranty period. Considering this leak is right next to the turbocharger this is just an accident waiting to happen.”
