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 "service engine soon" light came up one morning. A certified friend mechanic checked it out at home with his engine analyzer/computer & found nothing wrong. He then checked out the gas cap if secure. After awhile, the light went off. I still can't believe it was the gas cap because I'm very careful about loose gas caps. Anyway, after 2 days of driving, the light came out again. Beforehand, he suggested to have the gas cap replaced if this happens again. So I changed it & have been driving around for almost 3 weeks now but the light is still there. Somebody said that it might take a couple of gas tank refills before the gas cap get "cross-threaded" or sealed tight. I already had 2 refills & the light's still there. The van's running well & am experiencing no problems whatsoever. I just want to have that light turned off.
When exiting vehicle only on driver's side consumer can notice a very strong fuel odor. Consumer had vehicle inspected and determined that fuel filter was leaking fuel at the connector. Replaced fuel filter, and consumer notice fuel was leaking from fuel filter five months later.
This is the second time that I have had problems with the fuel system... and it has so little mileage on it ! I checked and could not find any recalls on this item. Can you let me know if there are any, the dealer says that don't have any.
