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.
Continuous issues with the PCV/egr since vehicle purchase in 1998. Spent over $1200 attempting to resolve the problem. Both independent and dealer mechanics have been involved with no success. The cel light has been on for over three years now because I no longer wished to spend money diagnosing this problem.
While driving, vehicle makes a loud humming sound which comes from front end of vehicle. Also, transmission has failed. Consumer constantly has to take vehicle to dealer. The check engine light illuminated. The speed sensor and the O2 sensor were replaced.
Returned vehicle to dealer many times complaining about brakes, he replaced one pad on one tire. Says it was the only one worn, now car skids on braking and pulls to the side. Egr valve is also bad and he refuses to acknowledge anything is wrong with vehicle. He states he replaced oxygen sensor unit but, it still appears old and rusted in.after the first day of having vehicle I complained about brakes.idler bearing imobilized car 2 days after purchase, he geryy rigged it without fixing it properly.
Oxygen sensor failure no.1 at 10300 miles on 12 Nov 1996, covered under vehicle warranty. Oxygen sensor failure no. 2 at 46200 miles on 4 May 1999. Oxygen sensor failure no. 3 at 64600 miles on 18 Jul 2000.
