ONGOING PROBLEM WITH A MAGIC CHIEF STOVE TOP. WHENEVER USED WITH ANY PAN, THE HEAT PREVENTS THE KNOB FROM TURNING OFF GAS. MUST GO OUTSIDE TO TURN OFF MAIN LINE, LET THE TOP COOL AND THEN USE THE KNOB TO TURN OFF GAS. CONSUMER BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO DEALER & MANUFACTURER, AND BOTH ARE AVOIDING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING SOMETHING. CAN NHTSA PROVIDE HELP IN THIS MATTER. *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.
