Example complaints

“Electric door locks on my 1994 Lesabre will not unlock the doors. Took it to the dealer and as soon as I started to describe the problem he laughed and said it would cost $180 per door to fix, and that he had done many of them. My sister and a co-worker also have lesabres and they both have had the exact same problem. Buick has apparently issued a technical service bulletin on this problem but refuses to fix the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10010167, filed 2003-03, 25,000 miles“The driver rear ended another vehicle while driving. As a result the passenger side air bag deployed and caused burns to the passengers thighs. The fumes emitted from the air bag also caused eye irritation and breathing problems. The passenger has developed asthma and has continued to experience eye irritation. The master cylinder was replaced because it leaked. The calipers were degreased, the alternator was replaced and the drivers side door locks were replaced.”
