Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At about 30,000 miles I notice that the rear driverside door lock would not work properly sometime,but I did not take to shop.at about 34,000 miles it quite working altogether,hardly ever using that door I let the miles go by without taking in for repairs. Also the front driver side lock sometimes does not work properly. Now I guess at 38,000 miles I will have to pay if I want it fixed.”
