Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driver side seat belt is unusable as it is locked in the retracted position. I was interested to note that a recall was issued concerning this problem. When I purchased the car used (3 yrs. Old) at a Chevrolet dealership they made no mention of the recall nor had they corrected it. The other issue is related to the rear drivetrain. Under heavy acceleration, the car has a tendency to have the back end slide sideways when the auto transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd.”
