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.
Freeze plugs are leaking and after repairs they are still leaking. Was told by dealer that it was caused by sand left in the block after casting and the plugs are corroding. Last time in they put a stop leak in the system and it has slowed down the coolant consumption to about a pint every 3 months. I feel they have not corrected the problem but delayed it until there is a problem at a future date.
The brakes have not been 100% since I purchased this vehicle. I took the vehicle to the dealer AT41,000 miles and complained about low pedal. I was told that the pads and shoes were fine. At about 50,000 miles, the brake booster failed and the vehicle had to be towed to the dealer. Squealing noise from under the hood was found to be the water pump.
