Example complaints

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

“Filed this same complaint several times since 1995 to chevy. Chevy never returned my answer why astros never have door ajar light installed at factory. I see their ventures and transports do have this feature. If the door ajar light went on, I'll pull over and check the doors to be sure they're shut. I feel this feature is part of safety and should be added at the factory. 2000 Astro model still does not have this light.”
