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.
Request for refund for all repairs made to transmission that was in the recall. The consumer's transmission failed prior to recall notification.

Took car to dealership several times because of vehicle being hard to start, or stalling for no reason. No problems were found. No attempt was made to discover the problem. Car would stall after being driven on hot day, stall while trying to make a turn, stall when stopped for light, etc., sometimes it would be hard to start. Had to place my foot on the accelorator and quickly shift into reverse to get the car going. Finally, after warranty expired, vehicle lost power while driving at about 30 mph and while engine had been sitting all day. The car could not be started. The dealership replaced the distributor at a cost of $900 to me. Dealership no help. Told that the car was too far out of the warranty eventhough I had reported similar problems during the warranty period. Have had many other problems with this car as well. Too many to list. Almost all component are involved at some point. Could NHTSA do anything. There seems to be a widespread problem. Other car owners are having the same difficulty. I'm sure that eventually the cause of their cars stalling will end up being the distributor as well.
