Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car was going 70 on the interstate and the reduced engine power signal came on and my car jerked and started powering down. It was a throttle body issue. Now my cars electrical system won't work, and electronic stability control won't work because of small magnets that had poor design. My car windows don't open. The electrical system shuts of while the car is driving and I can't see my steering panel at all.”
NHTSA complaint #11300583, filed 2020-01, 161,000 miles“The rear power lift gate door on my 2010 Cadillac SRX (23,000 miles) recently started closing suddenly only seconds after opening. During the 2nd time this happened, I was struck on the back of the head and upper back. This is a very dangerous situation and could injure an adult, or worse - a child! Cadillac needs to fix this immediately. Please let me know what I should do. Thanks.”
NHTSA complaint #10948157, filed 2017-01, 23,000 miles“Right passenger headlight keeps flooding with water, lights go out cant see while driving. Dealer wants $2,000.00 to replace. This happens very frequently. Water leaks on floor and on the electrical of passenger side from sunroof drain, I've been told the drain is too short and disconnects. These are defaults in the car, we should not have to keep paying to have fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10917383, filed 2016-10, 135,000 miles“The headlights get moisture in them causing headlights to barely work. I can't see anything at night. It is so dangerous!
