Example complaints

“The HVAC panel lights have gone out so I can't tell where blower is set. Every time it rains I get water on the passenger side floor. It looks like it comes in the back and makes its way to the front if enough rain enters.”
NHTSA complaint #10173213, filed 2006-11, 65,000 miles“Exterior mirror glass vibrates while driving causing blurred vision. Had one side replaced under warranty. 6 months later, both sides do it. Impossible to see clearly!!! Chrome coating on wheels peeling off. Pieces will stick to the ABS sensor causing fault. One occasion it made brakes fail almost causing accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10047131, filed 2003-11, 40,000 miles“Severe clunking noise under hood when turning wheel. After taking car to various mechanics, it was a unanimous consenus the rack & pinion needed replacement.”
NHTSA complaint #10025786, filed 2003-07, 89,000 miles“My wife took my 1999 Buick Regal gs to the dealership to address recall 07035. My car was in perfect working order and running smoothly. Upon return of my vehicle, the A/C no longer worked, the A/C control panel no longer worked, and the car was missing when going up hill and the engine trouble light is now continuously flashing. My wife was in a very rural area and I had to get in my truck to follow her home. Recall repair for 07035 has virtually made my car inoperable and the dealership says it is nothing they did. …”
NHTSA complaint #10235083, filed 2008-07“Electronic climate control display totally black. Display started to loose intensity about 2 months prior to becoming totally blank. Module still seems to work for now. However, other than by guessing, it is impossible to determine temperature, air flow, fan speed. I have not yet gone to the dealer, but I am guessing this will be a very expensive repair, since the entire module will probably have to be replaced.”
