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.
The heat shields above my catalytic converters caught fire and had to be replaced, at a large expense to me. Upon receipt of the replacement parts, it was noticed that the parts had been redesigned. I believe that the manufacturer has found a fundamental issue with their original design and is quietly replacing them. The problem with this is that it takes your car catching on fire to know you need to replace them.
