Example complaints

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

“Original window label has government 5 star rating for frontal crash and rollover. This was important to me as this will probably be my last car. Letter dated may 16, 2014 from GM changed the 5 star rating to no rating at all. I'm sure GM used the original window label in determining cost of car and dealers used it as a selling point. The cost was substantial to me and I may not have bought it at all if I had known correct safety rating. I feel I was deceived, lied to, and mislead.”

NHTSA complaint #10599128, filed 2014-06, 3,500 miles

“Rear differential at risk of failure. I contacted Cadillac customer service and they did not see the recall in their system and advised me to contact NHTSA. They said that the NHTSA did not show a recall for that vehicle. The consumer stated the vehicle had numerous safety defect repairs. The consumer requested that the vehicle be bought back.”

NHTSA complaint #11320505, filed 2020-04

“I have told the dealer that I leased the car from that there is a terrible glare and reflection on the windshield from the dashboard. The interior is a new light color and they are having problems with reflections of the cutouts and vents that mirrors the whole top of dash on windshield. When sun shines there is such a distraction that your eyes are all over the place and it is very difficult to see clearly through the windshield without being distracted. …”
