Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchased this vehicle a year ago with 66,100 miles. One previous owner. The passenger side rear door would not open. It's still inoperable. I do not know when the door stopped working, just that it was prior to 66,100 miles. It has made the vehicle un-safe to exit from the rear seat when parked street-side.”
NHTSA complaint #10853180, filed 2016-04, 66,100 miles“Trapped inside of 2006 Lacrosse with a door lock that would not open. Dealer could not replicate the problem nor fix it. Gm executive offices claim the door lock is a wear item. It is unacceptable for a door lock to trap a person inside a car that has 83,000 miles and 9 years old. Enough such occurrences are discussed on various sites on the internet. This combined with a faulty passenger seat airbag sensor and executive managament's lack of concern is enough to stay away from all GM products.”
NHTSA complaint #10723984, filed 2015-06, 83,000 miles“The contact owns a 2006 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicles door locks activated independently.
