Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I tried to open the front passenger side window of my 2005 Acura MDX SUV, somehow, the window glass pushed the door open too, and damaged the outside door handle. Now, I can not open that door from outside, and I can not lower the window glass more than 5 inches otherwise the door would be pushed open by it. That incident almost resulted in a bad accident on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #10308273, filed 2010-02, 56,000 miles“Whenever it is rainy or just rained and I have to roll down the drivers side, window a very strong musty smell shows up. Often the window has water streaks on the glass after I roll it up. It appears the seal on the window is not good. I am concerned about mold and the fact my door may rotting from the inside out.”
NHTSA complaint #10363474, filed 2010-11, 64,852 miles“The safety system which makes the driver's side power window stop and reverse when it encounters an obstruction during auto-up does not work on a consistent basis. If the window does not reverse if a body part is trapped, it can lead to severe injury of death.”
