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.
Over the last three years of operating the vehicle (2005-2007): 1. fire in the front wheel assembly after 1.5 hours of 4-wheel drive - 1100$ replace 2. speed sensor failure ($500 work) 3. engine failure on the highway @80 mph - $7000 replace and other costs, lucky survived 4. joint balls replace (about 400$) 5. ac failure ($960 repair) 6. now parked - transmission/engine joint oil leak, estimated $1200 repair.
While maneuvering in icy conditions the cruise control because of its design on the steering wheel, inadvertently engaged resulting in a crash. It seems that wearing gloves contributes to the problem.
Because of it's proximity to the steering wheel, the cruise control engaged inadvertently while maneuvering in icy conditions causing the vehicle to spin wildly out of control resulting in a collision.
Speedometer quit working and (subsequently) now the crusie control will not work either. Speedometer began failing approx. 1 year ago and would not indicate vehicle speed until moving in excess of 30 mph. Now the speedometer is completely inoperative requiring replacement of the complete instrument cluster assembly.
