Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

• NHTSA recall #00V377000November 16, 200059,445 vehicles affected

  power train: automatic transmission

  Vehicle description: certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 114, "theft protection." water contamination of the automatic transmission oil Can lead to various failure modes of the transmission. One of these failure models results in incorrect operation of the park lock function that could allow a vehicle to roll away if parked without the handbrake properly set.

  Unintentional vehicle movement could result in a crash or personal injury.

  Remedy

  Dealers will check the park lock function; reposition the automatic transmission breather tube; and test the automatic transmission fluid and flush if necessary.

• NHTSA recall #00V142001October 16, 200036,911 vehicles affected

  electronic stability control: automatic (asc)

  Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley Can exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification. The material of the pulley Can fracture and ultimately fail. Failure of the pulley material Can cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt.

  This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).

  Remedy

  Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.

• NHTSA recall #00V328000October 16, 200025,033 vehicles affected

  engine and engine cooling: cooling system: hoses/lines/piping/fittings

  Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Coolant system leaks have been identified in areas where the coolant could be subjected to elevated temperatures.

  Consequently, the fluid could ignite causing an under-hood fire.

  Remedy

  Dealers will make a series of modifications to several underhood hose components to eliminate the release of engine coolant.

• NHTSA recall #00V329000October 16, 20002,957 vehicles affected

  vehicle speed control

  Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The cast alloy throttle body is heated by fluid bled from the cooling system, to prevent icing in extremely cold weather conditions. This fluid passes through a small attachment (plate) to the throttle body, which utilizes a cork gasket. The cork gasket has proven to be unreliable in this application. Consequently, coolant fluid Can leak from the interface between the de-icer plate and the throttle body.

  Should this coolant collect on high temperature regions of the engine, the coolant fluid could ignite.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the throttle body gasket, de-icer attachment, and securing hardware.

• NHTSA recall #99V007000January 19, 199920,426 vehicles affected

  engine and engine cooling

  Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. As a result of water ingress and subsequent ice blockage, the transmission breather tube Can become clogged, expelling transmission fluid from the dipstick tube onto hot engine components.

  This leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, Can result in an underhood fire.

  Remedy

  Dealers will remove the transmission breather tube from the inner fender and a section of the hose will be cut at an angle. This action will remove the end of the breather tube from any pooled water and will eliminate water droplets from clinging to the end of the tube.
