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.

UPON PURCHASE I REALIZED THAT THE MOTOR WAS USING CONSIERABLE AMOUNTS OF OIL--A QUART EVERY 250 MILES. MY MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT SOME COMBINATION OF HEAD, HEAD GASKETS, OR BLOCK PROBLEMS ATTRIBUTED TO THE CONSIDERABLE OIL LEAKAGE THAT WAS TAKING PLACE. A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF OIL LEAKAGE WAS ALSO DETECTED NEAR THE REAR MAIN SEAL PORTION OF THE MOTOR, BUT MORE PARTICULARLY SOME ALUMINUM HOUSING PIECE THAT CONTAINED A SEAL IN THAT LOCATION. ONCE FIXED, LEAKAGE CONTINUES.
