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 contact stated there were two problems with the vehicle. The first problem involved coolant leaking from the engine. The next morning, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop, the mechanic was able to get the vehicle started. Upon inspection the intake manifold was filled with water and the manifold was replaced. The second problem occurred when driving across a patch of ice at approximately 40 mph the traction stability and ABS failed. The V traction control and ABS lights illuminated. The front end started to slide. The contact pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off. Once the vehicle was restarted, the traction control and ABS reset themselves and were working properly. Updated 3/3/2006 -
This is the second time in less than two years that rear brakes were worked on. This time the rear brake pads and rotors were replaced and the calipers had to be "unfrozen". this vehicle is only 4 years old and this work has been performed two times.
This may or not be a problem. Road conditions were damp after a night of rain, no standing water on turnpike. Traveling at 65 mph using cruise control on straight part of road. Auto suddenly went into a rear end slide which continued from left to right slides. After about 150 yards I disengaged the ABS system and regained control of the car. Question.could this be a malfunction of the ABS /cruise control system causing loss of control of the auto?
