Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact stated the exterior rearview mirrors are too big and cause a blind spot. The dealership determined this is how the vehicle was manufactured. The outside rearview mirrors are way too big and located in an area that blocks views. The contact had to lift herself of the seat to look over top of the rearview window.”
NHTSA complaint #10153530, filed 2006-03, 33,257 miles“The contact owns a 2005 Buick Rendezvous. The contact stated that during heavy snow and/or an ice storm the snow and ice accumulated inside the windshield wiper motor. The accumulation caused the windshield wipers to become inoperable. The dealer stated that thiswas due to the design of the vehicle. The manufacturer stated that they will no longer investigate the failure. The current and failure mileage were 32,000.”
