WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE USING THE FACTORY SUPPLIED VEHICLE JACK, THE JACK FELL OVER AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FALL, PINNING MY HAND IN BETWEEN THE SPARE TIRE AND THE REAR LEFT FENDER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. MY HAND WAS PINNED FOR ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE MY SON AND A GOOD SAMARITAN WERE ABLE TO LIFT THE VEHICLE OFF OF MY HAND.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

THE CAR WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. LIKE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS ON THE INTERNET, A PLASTIC FLANGE ON THE FUEL PUMP CRACKS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA OF THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE LEAKING FUEL IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FIRE, EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
