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.
While driving, my car stopped in the middle of a busy road. The timing belt had broken N.it took the dealer 3 weeks to fix it. With the head gasket, I brought the car to a service station 3 separate times to find out why it was running hot, before the problem was discovered. This happened only when the car leaked out all of the antifreeze. I have also replaced the front brakes 4 times and the rear brakes 3 times in this vehicle. I have never had to do this with any other car that I have owned.
Consumer was traveling at approximately 30 mph when pulling out from a traffic light and rear ended a pick up truck. Approximately $5000+ damage done to front end of vehicle. Also, driver's and passenger's air bags failed to deploy. Consumer states rear brakes did not seem to work.
Air conditioner system has rotten egg smell as it is turned on and causes sneezing and tearing of eyes. Cat was taken to dealer and cause not found. Dealer said they had hear of this from other owners but didn't know what problem was. Concerned there may be a leak somewhere that could be causing this and may be a health harzard.
