I was driving when the vehicle suddenly lost power; as it coasted to a stop, the cabin filled with gas smell. I stopped the vehicle and noticed significant amount of gasoline dripping from the engine. The vehicle was towed and service personnel determined the fuel line, specifically the plastic part that was clipped to the engine fuel rail, had catastrophically failed. The plastic clip separated from the metal end of the fuel line. This plastic piece is supposed to be permanently molded to the metal line. Once separated, the fuel line was still…

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
