Example complaints

Body and structure: “I am having problems with the sliding doors, the passenger side sliding door would not close. After about and hour, got the door closed and now the door alarm stays on. Have an appointment to get it looked at. After reading all the other complaints about these doors, I think they should have a recall to fix the problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10330744, filed 2010-05, 49,000 miles

Latches, locks and linkages: “The automatic doors will not close properly and at times just open up. If I am able to close the doors, the door alarm continues to sound and will do so for several hours. I have had it looked at by the dealership and have been told it is fixed several times. I bought this vehicle new and it has less than 30000 miles on it. This is an outrage and no one will stand behind the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #10354581, filed 2010-09, 30,000 miles

Brakes: “I bought a 2007 Terraza in april of last year. I have had nothing but trouble from the start. The brakes started making noise in the first week. The dealer cleaned the pads, but that did not work. They eventually replaced them ,but it still squeals. Then the emergency break light would come on even though the brake was never used, and the cruise control would not engage. I brought it back again. They said that these problems were related and it had to do with wiring. The back end was making a terrible thumping sound every time I would go over the slightest of uneven surfaces. …”

Suspension: “I have had nothing but trouble from the start with our car's stability system. The back end was making a terrible thumping and grinding sound every time I would go over the slightest uneven surfaces. There have been multiple repairs made including replacing right rear bushing, rewelding of an unknown part on the right rear and the stabiltity/ABS systems repaired multiple times. Yet, the car continues to have suspension problems. It has a unstable, wobbly ride especially on the interstate. Among other things I've also had a wheel senor replaced. …”
