Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Heater core exploded and the hot radiator fluid poured on my foot, causing me to lose control of the car. My injuries were bad burns to my foot and pulled muscles. I had the car repaired, where they told me that the heater core was a badly made product. Because it was part plastic, which cracked when they repaired it they put an entirely metal heater core as replacement. They also could not believe that it poured the hot water on the drivers side of the car, usually it goes on the passenger side.”
NHTSA complaint #10210723, filed 2007-12, 257,000 miles“When driving vehicle, the console area is hard to read. If there is a sunny day consumer cannot see at all. Cadillac manufacturer said to take vehicle to dealer to see what they could do. Dealership cannot remedy this problem. Cadillac manufacturer was aware of this problem.”
