Example complaints

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

“On march 17, 2005 I purchased a 2003 Toyota ECHO from Toyota of nashua in new hampshire. After purchasing the car and leaving Toyota of nashua to drive home, the engine stopped as I approached a stoplight at the end of the highway exit near my house. I had simply depressed the clutch to coast toward the red light. I didn't think much of it at the time, assuming that it stalled due to stale gas. However, the engine continued to quit periodically. Sometimes the engine would quit several times in a week and then go several months with no problem. …”
