G VAN - AFTER THE CATALYIC WAS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL, IT STILL EMITS SULFUR SMELL OR ROTTEN EGG ODOR. THE BRAKES HAVE NOT FAILED, BUT ARE TOO OFTEN NEEDED REPLACED. IT SEEMS TO BE EVERY 6 MONTHS. I'M NO AUTO TECH BUT KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW THIS IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
