Example complaints

“Waiting in line at sonic driveway started reversing at breakneck speeds - finally stopped afte r jumping a curb and hitting a heavy pickup, air bags did not open malfunction of vehicle several days before the gear shift seemed sticky”
NHTSA complaint #11145220, filed 2018-11, 24,000 miles“The drivers side door power window operates differently that other cars. It is practically impossible to lower it without being distracted from driving. Gm says the operation is normal, yet other GM makes and other manufacturers do not operate like this vehicle. If you want it down just an inch, you struggle to keep the window at the level you desire. It will distract enough to cause an accident if you continue to attempt to set the window level. This problem has existed since I took delivery of the vehicle.”
