Example complaints

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

“We purchased this vehicle four months ago and love it except for: 1)There seems to be some kind of tint on the rear view mirror which makes it very hard to see other vehicles at night, especially at dusk before some drivers turn their headlights on. We know to be very careful, but there is a very high risk for an accident. 2)Exhaust fumes enter the vehicle when stopped while the engine is running, made worse by the fact that the vehicle automatically resets to let outside air in even if we push the button to recirculate the inside air. …”

“This car is a 2007 and we bought this car in 2007 and got a recall on windshield washer module, we take it and they replace a wire. Next we get a recall wanting to disable and remove heated windshield washer module. The recall reads like this, recall information recall important, our priority is your complete satisfaction. It is not our complete satisfaction to take this car in and dismantle it, and so for we haven't done so and have no intention of doing so. The problem with this car should have been fixed by general motors and it hasn't been. Not very happy about this.”

NHTSA complaint #10595566, filed 2014-06

“The contact owns a 2007 Cadillac DTS. While driving 40 MPH, the contact noticed that the sun visor was uneven. When she removed the sun visor from the front to the side, it began hanging unevenly. There is also a 4.5 inch gap that causes the sun to hinder her vision. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that a repair could not be made because the vehicle was designed in that fashion. The visor has not been repaired. The current mileage was 6,100 and failure mileage was 500.”
