A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
While drving 35 MPH had a direct frontal impact and the driver's airbag did not deploy which did not protect the occupant in accident. No prior problem with the airbag. Cause unknown, please provide details.
Heard a popping and hissing noise while driving because the exhaust air supply check valve came off, allowing the fumes to come through the passenger compartment.
The design of the gas tank and gas tank brush guard allowed water and road debris to become trapped between the parts, causing rust and subsequent holes in the two parts, resulting in gasoline leakage.
Consumer is having the same defect with there vehicle's emergency parking brakes, as stated in recall number 94 v 169 000 but there VIN number is not included. Ph
Fuel tank developed leaks due to rust caused by water trapped between brush guard and tank bottom. Brush guard designed without holes to allow water to drain properly thus trapping water between the guard and tank bottom. *nlm
