Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I live in Oklahoma so it’s hot then cold then hot again then colder the next morning. I had my defroster on while on my way to work and all of a sudden my window just cracks and spreads all across my window. I didn’t have a chip at all and there wasn’t even a vehicle in front of me. Idk if it was because it was real cold and had the defroster on but this still shouldn’t have happened. And they want me to pay almost $1000 to change it out because you also have to get the cameras readjusted correctly. GM should pay for this. It absolutely wasn’t my fault.”
