Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was pulling out of the driveway and onto the city road driving about 30-40 MPH and my front trunk opened on it's own. I had no warning signs or got no audible alerts when my front trunk opened on its own. I've been in contact with my dealership and they said GM warranty will not cover the problem or fix my damages, that my insurance needs to cover that.”
NHTSA complaint #11338933, filed 2020-07, 5 miles“While driving at a prudent speed the hood of my vehicle opened with some damage to the hood(sprung hinges) and body damage. I got a signal that the hood was open and then the hood sprung open. I was driving at 35-40 MPH at the time and came to a stop in a prudent manner.(no visibility)”
NHTSA complaint #11338940, filed 2020-07, 575 miles“While driving at 20-30 MPH, the front hood released and the hood opened to a near vertical position. After stopping I closed the hood but it took a lot of effort. When closed the hood now is recessed near the hinges and there is some paint damage to the edges of the hood and fenders. It appears that the hinges are damaged. I immediately took it to a dealer and they are to research the issue with chevy engineering. The damage has been repaired under warranty. I am concerned that this may re-occure.”
NHTSA complaint #11348787, filed 2020-08, 1,200 miles“The hood popped open while driving damaging the car. Fortunately there were no other cars around and I was able to safely pull over. I was driving at 43mph when the hood flew open blocking my vision and damaging the car. I have video of the incident from the performance data recorder in the car. The hood had not been opened at all the day this occurred and I had driven on multiple other roads including the highway without incident. The car had just over 1400 miles on it at the time of the incident.”
NHTSA complaint #11343623, filed 2020-08, 1,400 miles“I just got my 2020 Corvette delivered last week. I am the first owner of the car and today I was driving up pch towards malibu. Went up to 80-90 MPH at times. Drove for about 100 miles. I stopped to get something to eat. Got back in my car and proceeded up the canyons for some spirited driving. The car is already broken in at 1300 miles. I decided to pull off the road to take some pictures of the car. I put the car in park with the parking brake on and left the engine running with the key fob in the cupholder. …”
