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.
Have had intermittent difficulty with starting vehicle between 03/2002 & 05/2002. When starting the vehicle on cool morning and occasional afternoons, it doesn't start. The radio, gauges function but the engine doesn't engage. There is a clicking sound and a partial turning of the engine. After 4-8 attempts, vehicle starts and functions normally. The vehicle was examined by the local service center when problem first occurred, but was unable to repeat it. Contacted manufacturer who contacted local service center and center offered to repeat exam. Currently, vehicle in service center's possession but problem has not reoccurred for them. Unable to diagnose vehicle problem. This is an annoying situation when one has to rely on private auto for transportation to school and work.
