Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TO GO IN ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES NOW FOR FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES. I AM SOLELY BLAMING PACKER CITY INTERNATIONAL IN GREEN BAY, WI FOR MISDIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. I WOULD REALLY LIKE HELP IN FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM AS THEY HAVE SCREWED ME OUT OF ABOUT $5000 NOW AND STILL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THEY KEEP SAYING "LET'S TRY REPLACING THIS OR THAT" AND I KEEP HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES ! *TR
