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.
Oil leak started, and was pooling on top of engine. Took car to get repaired, was told gasket would need replacement. Upon starting repairs, it was discovered that heli-coil had been over torqued supposedly during installation and due to over torquing, had become stripped resulting in a loose bolt and oil was able to leak out. The failure caused oil to leak out at a catastrophic rate, which could potentially cause engine fire and/or damage to catalytic converter. Old coil was taken out, threads came out with it (demonstrating over torquing), and new coil was installed. Threads from coil are available.
