Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Exhaust failure details: very soon after we purchased this vehicle, we discovered that whenever we took a cloverleaf-type offramp which required a quick decceleration and then a quick acceleration, a thick black cloud of smoke would come out of the exhaust pipe. The only way I found to correct this problem was to put the car into neutral, if distance allowed, and allow the car to decompress before accelerating. A very little percentage of my driving involves this type of offramp, and estimates I requested for this repair ranged close to $1000.00. …”
