Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 1999 Buick that since I perchaced it a film has been building up on the inside of the headlights. I whent to the dealer and was told to replace the headlights. Then I contacted general motors and was told the same thing. The vehicle has never been in an accident. This is a design flaw. I have noticed other GM products with the same problem. This film has effected the brightness of the headlights.”
NHTSA complaint #10150775, filed 2006-02“Given the number of failures, I would like to see the manufacturer extend the warranty for my lighting system. I would also like to know know if a lot of other people have had similiar problems. Thanks you!”
NHTSA complaint #750840, filed 2001-08“Dt: the contact stated that when pressing on the gas pedal it hesitated. Also, rear side window will not go up or down. The window on the passenger's side will not go all the way up and it will not seal. Also ,the headlights came on and stayed on. The dealership reprogrammed the light and it came back on. The manifold intake blew out, costing the contact $150 to replace the intake gaskets. The brakes were noisy all the time. When making a left turn the flap will rub the tire, and it caused the tire to blow out .”
