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.
2003 Chevy Malibu with 88K. During routine oil change was advised of oil in coolant. Upon taking to mechanic was told I had bad head/intake gasket and needed replaced, estimate cost $2400. Upon researching farther I found out that this is common on some GM vehicles with the same engine and that in fact a class action lawsuit had been settled in California earlier this year. In any case, I'm stuck with the bill on a repair that was caused by the coolant that the GM used and required as apart of the warranty.
