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-tank fuel pump unit motor failure caused a high-current draw. Prior to fuse blowing, in-tank wiring became hot enough to melt the wire insulation. This is a serious safety condition. Had the wire come off the terminal and created a spark, the resulting explosion could have killed the driver and any passengers.
Consumer was getting into vehicle and started smelling fuel in passenger's compartment. Consumer went straight to a mechanic. Fuel has spilled onto engine, but not enough to start smoking and catch a fire. Manufacture is doing nothing about smell or problem.
