Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Water draining into the passenger compartment, potential of damaging electronics and starting a fire. Water also created a carpeting problem on the passenger side. Gm issued a customer satisfaction bulletin, but california was excluded - why???? 14225 customer satisfaction - sunroof drain hose leaks . After further research I found the 14225 document and the process needed to repair the drain tube. I was astonished to see that california cars are excluded from the campaign. …”
NHTSA complaint #10947383, filed 2017-01, 44,000 miles“The front light headlight assembly seals wore out and the headlight blew out while we were driving home in the rain, at night. Water penetrated the headlight which is what caused the lamp to blow out. I called GM and they played dumb and said they had never heard of this problem. Yet as I was at the dealership to get it fixed there were other 2010 models driving in with the exact same problem. Gm would not extend the warranty to cover this, as the warranty was over 4 years but still under the 50k miles. At $1400 each to replace these headlights, they need to fix this defect. …”
NHTSA complaint #10689841, filed 2015-02, 37,888 miles“Air conditioning system stopped working on a four year-old car. Air conditioner used to defrost and cool interior car. When driving, windows can fog up and diminish visibility. In rainy days and nights, the windows fog up and it is not always safe to roll down window to assist in defogging windows.”
NHTSA complaint #10606674, filed 2014-06, 55,000 miles“I have been having problems with my headlights since the day it first rained and I purchased my vehicle. Now the lights have dimmed all the way down and flicker as I drive at night can't see anything. I have replaced numerous bulbs and fuses to no avail. The seats act weird when you set them for yourself or another driver. The wipers barley work its like driving trying to kill yourself or someone else.”
NHTSA complaint #11415372, filed 2021-05“I have noticed excessive water droplets in headlights it's so bad visibility is a safety concern at night because you can see headlights don't even look like there on. I have to use high beams which puts others lives in danger due to being blinded by the bright lights that can lead into more crashes.”
