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.
Raw gas odor in exhaust, sometimes exhaust has foul odor, engine runs rough at times. Was taken to dealer in April 2003, could find nothing wrong in their diagnostics, symptoms have slowly gotten worse over time. Suspect latent defect in fuel injection system causing a fuel leak inside of engine (intake manifold). Since a dlealer can't find the problem with normal diagnostics, this is an obvious emissions control defect as well as a potential safety defect. This would affect all vehicles with this engine, this defect is not specific to this model.
Has been repossesed by becu and will be sold by collatoral recovery services Inc located at: 621 37th at wa auburn, wa 98002. They have been informed of the following defects: 1)none of the turn signals work. This has been an intermittent problem since purchasing the vehicle. The several fuses have been replaced, but the malfunction continues. 2)the warning sound, for the headlines being left on when the door is open, no longer functions. The fuse has been tested and replaced, but the malfunction continues. 3)the warning sound for the driverS seatbelt, to remind to fasten them, no longer works. The fuse has been tested and replaced, but the malfunction continues. 4)with all the problems regarding the fuses listed above, there may be the possibility that the fuse box is defective or there is a problem in the wiring. There has not been any diagnostic testing because of the prohibitive costs. 5)the tires are recent purchase from sears, but there are defects in the tires. The passenger rear tire has a slow leak that has been temporarily sealed with seal-tite in a can (a friend gave me hers). The front drivers side tire also has a slow leak, and Ive not been able to afford a can of seal-tite, and have just been refilling the tire as needed. 6)the power windows movement up and down are particularly slow and the gears seem ready to break down anytime. There may also be an undetected electrical problem here as well. 7)the brakes need serious work. They have been grinding a very long time. The brake pads, rotors and drums may all need to be replaced, as well as the brake fluid. 8)the vehicle has not had itS 100,000 miles, the 125,000 or the 130,000 miles maintenance work done. It has not had a tune up since my purchase and have only been able to procure oil changes infrequently.
