Fuel System, Gasoline › Delivery

Filed Aug 28, 2001GA

I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH (AFTER THE FACT) AND LEARNED MANY PAOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR. THE MOST TRAGIC CASE IS THE FUEL LINES NEEDING REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE A BALL OF FLAMES DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE! THAT IS VERY DISTRUBING. THIS VEHICLE IS TOO YOUNG TO HAVE SUCH MAJOR COMPONENT FAILURES!! VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE (WHICH WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM IF THE CAR WAS "OVER THE HILL") BUT THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 95K ON IT. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO THE FUEL LINE ISSUE.*AK

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.
