Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have an ongoing issue with the drivers side door lock where at random times (about 2x per month) the doors make a ratcheting sound like the motor is trying to lock and unlock door in very quick sequence. It happens right after I open the door coming into the car from the outside. I unlock via the remote when this happens. I have noticed that the lock on door moves into a position it is not supposed to be in so when you close the door you can hear metal on metal hitting. …”
