Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Door hinges came welded on doors with no way to lubricate them and keep them from rusting. Purchased the van a few years ago. Within a few months the left hand passenger door rusted shut. Repair man quoted $129 for each hinge plus the labor. Soon the other door would not latch correctly. Now the automatic door locks have problems because doors will not latch properly. This month, the back right hand cargo door hinge has rusted completely off the door, making this a potential hazard, not to mention, the door cannot be shut once it is opened. …”
