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.
Takata inflators please fix my car I went to the local auto parts store and they checked the system for me and all these problems plus more have popped up and they're all on the recall list
My check gas cap keeps coming on N my car is leaking gas from the fuel pressure line N upon doing some research I have found that several people have the same issue so I checked for a recall on the car which it seems to me it should have one but does'nt it's clearly a factor defect if alot of people are experiencing the same issue it leaks when the key is on I won't drive it for two reasons one who can afford to have their gas leaking and two I'm affraid it could blow-up while driving it. I just bought the car a month ago so really don't know when the issue actually began.
"takata recall" there is alot of completion of the fuel gage reading wrong after U fill the tank up. I will fill up on gas and my gaga will read empty and will tell me low fuel. This will go and fix it self after it run for about 20 miles. Only happens after I fill it up.
There was a recall on fuel system my engine light is on and had it diagnosed and its reading I need a fuel pump cant understand why when work was already done sometimes when I accelerate to 25-30 stutters and putts
My car was recalled for a transmission shift cable problem. I took it to the dealer in February of 2015 and the dealer replaced it per the recall. On marc 27th 2016 the shift cable came off of the transmission shift lever and I could not shift out of drive. I turned the motor off and now the car started rolling backwards due to the incline I had stopped on. Since the car was in drive I was unable to start the car. The brakes were ineffective because the motor was not running. This actually happened in my garage so I had my wife put a scrap of wood behind the tire so it would not roll out into the street. I contacted the dealer that did the recall work and was told that the recall service was only waranteed for 1 year. I am having difficulty understanding that the original recalled part lasted for 11 years and the replacement part only lasted for 13 months. Since this was a recalled item why isn't it repaired by the dealer under the original recall bulletin? once a recall always a recall!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Filled up with gas started the car headed down the road and the gas gauge dropped down the E and showed low fuel. Then a few minutes later the gauge went back up the F. now the gauge goes up and down all the time. The only way for me know how much gas I have is to look at the read out on display. I have to keep track of how many miles I'm driving in order to make sure I don't run out of gas.
