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.

Dealer determined that O rings were leaking, also front crank seal had to be replaced.. consumer also stated the check engine light illuminated, the dealer removed carbon build up at the throttle plate, also work was needed on the powertrain.

Consumer was traveling approximately 35 mph and heard a noise, like something fell, dashboard lit up and there was a sudden loss of power, vehicle started coasting like it was in neutral, consumer shut vehicle off and it would not shut start up again, vehicle was towed and found that the camshaft had broken, dealer claimed there was blockage on the right side which caused camshaft to lock and then break because no oil was able to flow on that side.
