Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving down the highway and for no apparent reason, my sunroof exploded and shattered into tiny pieces. The noise was like a gunshot and glass came into the car because the visor was open at the time. I did not lose control of the car, but the noise did cause me to be distracted and disoriented for a short time. If there had been more traffic, it might have been a lot worse. I can not attribute the event to any weather condition or vehicle use condition.”

“Windshield defroster safety complaint: I have a new 2007 Lucerne and I just used it for the first time in a snowfall. Unfortunately, the windshield defroster is aimed above the wiper blades, which means that there is no defrosting of the windshield below the wiper blades. As the snow is wiped downwards from the windshield by the blades, it results in the formation of a large clump of ice forming immediately below the wipers, to which the wipers then freeze solid to the ice. Since the windshield defroster is aimed above the wiper blades, the ice cannot melt! …”

“2007 Buick Lucerne windshield wiper failure. Consumer states that the windshield wipers made a sharp noise then stopped completely. Consumer could not see the vehicle left the road and hit a hedge in someone's yard. The consumer was informed the failure of the windshield wiper was due to a plastic clip that suddenly disengaged. The clip linked the wiper motor with the wiper blades.”
