Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“A week after picking up the vehicle, the driver's window was making screeching sound when lowered. I took it back on july 3, 2006. The inside door panel was removed and the actuator was lubricated. Less than a week later the screeching noise came back. I then took it back to the dealer and was told that Chevrolet was in the process of making new window seals but they were not yet available. I was told to wait until my first oil change and by that time the new gaskets should be available.”
