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.
While driving vehicle filled up with smoke from the dash area. All electrical components shut down. Vehcle was towed to the dealership. Owner was told that radio shorted out, and shut down entire electrical system. Radio/both wndows motors, and fuses were replaced. On March 13, 2000 the driver's side window failed to open, and vehicle smelled electrically hot.
I have had to replace the horns on this vehicle four times. Every time it rains the position of the horn assembly under the hood and adjacent to the front wheels, apparently permits water to enter the horn and cause it to short out. Whatever the reason, the horns do not function properly. If the decibal level could be measured I am sure it would not be considered at all safe. The manufacturer claims not to have had a problem with other vehicles of the same design, etc. My opinion is not having a working horn is absolutely a safety issue and needs to be addressed by the manufacturer and ntsa.
