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 contact stated after refueling, the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop where it was determined the fuel pump detached, fell into the tank assembly and needs to be replaced.
The plastic cap that seals the gasket sealing the fuel pump in the top of the gas tank popped off and gasoline was pumped out all over the inside of the engine and poured out all over the highway leading to emptying of the gas tank and major risk on the highway. There were no holes in the gas tank and the plastic cap was not broken, it had simply popped off leading to this potentially disasterous problem. Car needed to be towed, gasoline all over theplace, and major fire hazard.
