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 heater hose is attached at the intake manifold with a quick-connect fitting that is made of pot metal. When this fails (and it is inevitable due to the type of metal used) the engine loses all coolant and leaves you stranded. There is no "quick repair" for this failure.
