This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
In 2003, when my vehicle, a Dodge Dakota pick-up was due a smog check. Mileage was only approximately 39,900 miles. It failed. It failed 3 times. After paying about $800 it pass the smog test. This year, my pick-up was due a smog test. The mileage was 49,900 miles, again it failed the smog test (twice now). To this date, it has not passed the smog test and cost has already gone to approximated $300.
