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.
Consumer concerned with engine and wheel bearing issues. Wants to know who is going to reimburse for repairs. Oxygen sensor had to be replaced several times. The driver side inner door handle was difficult to operate. The left side axle shaft was replaced because it was making a whining noise. While driving the vehicle stalled. It was later determined that a small rodent had built a nest which clogged the air box. The vehicle stalled again and this time they replace the maf sensor. The cruise control was inoperative.
The turn signal/cruis control handle fell off, preventing the operator from signaling an intent to turn. The handle was not damaged in any way to cause it to fall off other than normal use. The handle is dangling by its wires to the cruise control and the operator is unable to signal an intent to turn.
Cruise control switch shorted and car accelerated in excess of 80 mph, and would not shut down. Only way car would slow down if cruise control switch held manually to off as it would not permanently shut off. Braking did decelerate but engine continued at the same RPM, as cruise control would not disengage.
While driving at 55 mph cruise control switch shorted out. This resulted in vehicle suddenly accelerating in excess speed of 80 mph. When this occurred consumer immediately turned the key in the ignition to the off position. Then, vehicle started to decelerate. Dealership was contacted, but it was not indicated what caused the problem. They only stated the cost to have the switch replaced.
