Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The passenger sliding door (automatic) does not operate properly in weather conditions under 50/60 degrees. The door does not latch (which I've paid to have fixed in 2002), and now because it does not latch, it is popping back open. This has happened numerous times. I've also found out, by my own research, that there is a recall on the sliding door actuators, and another coming on the inside door handle. I have never been notified of any recalls on this vehicle. This has been unacceptable, and is deterring me from purchasing another GM vehicle. …”
