What owners reported
Newest filingsFUEL TANK PUMP AND SENDING UNIT, LOCATED IN TANK, WAS REPLACED DUE TO BURNING OF INTERNAL CONNECTOR. THIS BURNING CAUSED EXTREME VENTING OF GAS VAPORS DURING TANK FILL UP, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION. I POSSES THE OLD PART WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THE BURNED WORSE AND PLUG CONNECTOR. *JB

Across model years
Worst on record: 1997Reading 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.
