Example complaints

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

“I drove my van from work to my house which is around 18 miles. When I got home I could see smoke coming from under the hood. I quickly got out and pulled my baby out of her car seat. Within a few mins the smoke increased by a lot and I called 911. By the time they arrived the van was completely engulfed in flames, it was completely gutted by the time they put out the fire.”
