About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Dropped my car off for service at the dealership and they later called to say the engine had caught fire when they were test driving the car. An inspector from the insurors service bureau determined that a "rodent infestation" was the cause and that a nest had been built in the exhaust header. I have since seen several other owners reporting fires in the engine compartment and believe there might be a design defect that allows animals access to an internal location where engine heat ignites their nesting material.
