Start my diagnosis →Fuel odor, and fuel pouring from the tank during operation
Check engine light: On
The dominant complaint category (11 complaints): fuel leaking from the tank/flange assembly, abnormal fuel odors, fuel pouring from the tank during operation, and a cracked fuel tank access cover releasing fuel vapor. Some complaints explicitly describe failed recall repairs causing repeated leaks.
Independent ignition pathway from the fuel-leak risk above
Check engine light: On
A fire-related incident requiring emergency services is documented (NHTSA ODI #11513959), resulting from engine breakdown due to overheating.
One incident crashed through a garage wall into a home
Check engine light: On
A vehicle speed control complaint describes unexplained/unintended acceleration events at both 35 mph and 3 mph, with one incident resulting in the vehicle crashing through a garage wall directly into a home.
Engine seizure at low mileage with no advance warning
Check engine light: On
Coolant intrusion causing engine failure, and engine seizure occurring at low mileage even though warning indicators showed normal readings beforehand, are both documented.
Multiple warning lights displaying simultaneously
Check engine light: On
Electrical complaints include a stereo system that has been cutting out or unresponsive for over 2.5 years without resolution, multiple warning lights displaying simultaneously during driving, and electrical smells emanating from the dashboard.
This generation has confirmed recall coverage for fuel tank/flange leaks, but some owners report the recall repair itself failing to resolve the leak. Enter your VIN to get the confirmed, current recall picture for your specific car.
The information on this page is for general educational purposes only and is not a diagnosis. It is compiled from aggregated owner-reported data and publicly available sources, not from an inspection of your vehicle. Symptoms described here can have multiple causes, and the presence of a commonly reported problem does not mean your vehicle has it. Repair cost ranges are estimates that vary by region, shop, vehicle condition, and parts availability. Recall and service campaign information may be incomplete or out of date — verify current recall status with NHTSA or your manufacturer.

Fuel leaking from the tank/flange assembly is the dominant problem for this generation (11 complaints), with some complaints explicitly describing 'failed recall repairs causing repeated leaks'. A separate, independently documented fire incident (NHTSA ODI #11513959) resulted from engine breakdown due to overheating, compounding the fuel-leak fire risk with a second ignition pathway on the same nameplate.
