Example complaints

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

“There are no events leading up to this problem. The lock on the driver's side door has fallen into the door. This makes the door impossible to lock or unlock from the outside. When the window is rolled down the lock also locks. The problem has not yet been solved.”
