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 contact stated while driving at 55 mph heard a loud exploding sound coming from the engine. The vehicle stalled, but he was able to pull off the road. The hood was opened to check the engine. And when the oil filter was removed, the contact discovered a hole in the side of the engine in the size of a quarter. The manufacturer was contacted, who advised the contact to have the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection. The dealer would not inspect the vehicle without payment first because the vehicle was not under warranty. The vehicle has not been repaired due to the excessive cost. Before this incident there were no problems with the engine.
Crank case pulley cracked and the bolt that holds it to the crankcase snapped inside the crankcase--this is 6 weeks after transfer case was leaking, and have also had the rear axle seal replaced 3 times--this is all in a 2 1/2 year period.
