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 diesel engine had lost oil. The oil sprayed over the exhaust manifold. No smoke or fire was observed. Had contacted 3 different dealers & was informed the engine was not gas, but diesel & was not under recall. Had used the same seal as the transmission line.
If the vehicle sits for an extended period of time it does not start. It may start up for just a second then cuts off. Contacted dealer. When the vehicle is parked on a steep hill and consumer goes to start it, it takes 5-8 seconds for a vacuum to build up to hold vehicle. Emergency brakes have to be on or the vehicle will roll backwards. This is a characteristic of a diesel engine.
