Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Pressed button on rear hatch to open. The hatch engaged and went up only to catch and then freefall back down on top of my head leaving me dazed, disoriented and in pain. I hesitate to think what would have happened if I hadnt instinctively put my hand up to catch it or if had been a child there instead of me. The hatch is totally unusable because it will not stay open long enough to put anything in or get anything out. Very dangerous!”
NHTSA complaint #10715272, filed 2015-05, 65,000 miles“Lift gate won't stay up. Hit me on the head when free-falling. Ouch. Now I use a broom to prop open the lift gate on my $32k SUV. I should have bought a 20 year old used chevy instead. At least it would match the broom!”
NHTSA complaint #10721650, filed 2015-05, 36,000 miles“Went to open the trunk and place my daughters softball equipment in the back when all of a sudden the truck came down all by itself and hit me in the head. The suspension rods (I think they are called ) just gave out.”
