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.
On Sept. 5, 2006, my husband, 2 children, and I were driving down a 55 mph highway, when I pushed on the accelerator, and my car just decided it was only going to go 35-45 mph! luckily, there was no one behind me. I had time to put my flashers on and get the car down the road to the mechanic. I was on a car complaint website trying to discover what is wrong with my car when I found out I'm not the only one. At www.carcomplaints.com for the 2002 Chevy Malibu there are about 9 people discussing how their engine was leaking coolant. Like me, at first it either didn't show the leak, or it was minimal, and not worrisome, we thought; however, we (mechanics that we are not) were wrong. Someone said this replacement part is $1200+. dealers aren't helping. My warranty just ran out. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm 38 years old with a heart condition and I need my car, but I can't drive it like it is, nor can I afford to fix it.
