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.

THE GAS LINE IN THE REAR LEFT SIDE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CORRODED THROUGH THE PIPE AND LEAKED 2 1/2 GALLONS OF GASOLING INTO THE WHEEL WELL WHERE IT REMAIND, SLOSHING AROUND UNKNOWN TO US. WE COULD SMELL THE GAS BUT COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR. DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOKED FOR A LEAK BUT IT WAS NOT FOUND UNTIL THE INTERIOR PANEL WAS REMOVED THE WHEEL WELL. ONE SPARK AND WE COULD HAVEN BLOW UP. THERE COULD BE OTHER FAMILIES DRIVING AROUND AND SMOKING IN THE CAR A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION I THINK.
