Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“- while driving on the highway the engine check light on a 2005 Suzuki xl7 turned on. Within minutes of the engine check light coming on the vehicle started to lose power, going from 60 MPH and decreasing its speed until it stopped running. The contact towed vehicle to a dealership. At the dealership they stated that the vehicle had no engine coolant, and that was the cause of the failure. The contact was concerned because he never got any indication or warning that there was a problem that needed to be serviced on the vehicle.”
