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 clamp on the fuel injector line came off/loose on two different occasions. When it did, gas spewed on the engine (hot from running) and the car died, obviously, since it was not getting any fuel into the engine. The first time, I had to be towed since I didn't know what it was. The second time, I still had to be towed, but they were able to reattach the clamp. The clamp did not break, it just came loose both times. The part was replaced the first time, not the second. I have not had any other problems with this since, but I always wonder if it will happen again. I'm concerned that if it does, there's a possibility of the engine catching on fire or exploding. I don't know that much about it, but I wanted to let you know in case anyone else had this problem. Of course, they may not have survived to tell about it. :( thank you.
Head gasket failure causing car to overheat. Don't know yet if damage to head. Car has several electrical "glitches" that don't affect safety. Has also failed twice before - fuel tank sensor caused car to never register less than 1/4 tank so ran out of gas. Also another type of fuel sensor caused car to lose power - gave impression that car was losing injectors.
