I AM FILING THE REPORT OUT OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY, NOT ONLY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OF THE COOLANT LINES WOULD DISPERSE COOLANT RAPIDLY ONTO THE ROAD CAUSING EXTREME SLIPPERY CONDITIONS CREATING A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD BE UNCONTROLLABLE. *TR

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.
