What owners report most

Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Fuel/propulsion system

3 reports
“There seems to be wear in the fuel lines under the hood. Possibly caused from rubbing against something.”
Owner complaint to NHTSAFiled Jun 22, 2025Fuel/propulsion systemODI 11668423

Engine

1 report
“Myself and others online have noticed unusual wear on fuel lines located in the engine bay. There are 3 fuel lines on the right side of the engine bay to the right of the intake manifold that can become chafed. Because these are fuel lines I find the fact that they have wear to be very concerning and a potential fire hazard”
