Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT REPORTS OF CAM AND CAM BEARING FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS INCIDENTS OF LESS THAN 1%. HOWEVER THE PEOPLE I TALK TO INDICATE POSSIBLY 25-30% FAILURE RATE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RAMIFICATIONS OF A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRANDED IN REMOTE LOCATIONS. ANOTHER CONCERN IS BEING DISTRACTED BY AN ENGINE FAILURE WHICH COULD INCLUDE 200 DEGREE ENGINE OIL BEING SPRAYED ON MY LEGS AND UNDER MY REAR TIRE WHILE RIDING IN A CONGESTED TRAFFIC SITUATION.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
