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 engine missed usually mildly, but sometimes violently as to shake vehicle and sometimes stall, also the vehicle experienced a raw gas smell, suspension, brake, transmission and tire problems.. consumer also noted the rear hatch popped open by itself.
There is no way to secure the hatch when transporting long items & thus exhaust fumes are sucked back into the passenger compartment. The manufacturer does not recommend drilling a hole for the hook on a bungee chord to hold the hatch down & reduce fumes entering the passenger compartment. The manufacturer indicated the drilling of a hole for a hook may invalidate the warranty. This, I feel, is a health & safety concern since it is common for me to see hatch vehicle transporting common household items, like 2 X 4's from the local home center & other items as well. The hatch remains completewly open.
