Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Windows intermittently worked when the want to. Now drivers window will not go up and passengers side still works when it wants to. The consequences could be devastating as I live in a town that has a high crime rate as in carjacking. I also have my toddler in his carseat and the wind has caused him to stop breathing for a moment and scared me to no end. Then I can not carry a child with asthma because of the wind/air will cause him to have an attack. I am currently trying to raise the money to repair the problem. …”
