Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The pass lock system will not allow my wife's car to crank at times. You have to leave the key in the ignition for 10 mins before the car will start. This has happen when my wife and my twin girls were in a bad place and had to lock the doors and just sit in 90 deg weather chevy dealer has no answers. This is a safety problem what has to happen before they are made to fix it someone has to be killed or raped because the car won't crank.”
NHTSA complaint #10360024, filed 2010-10, 60,000 miles“Lack of child safety locks. Was not informed that there was no child safety locks and I have 3 children that ride in this car. Had to find out the hard way when driving down the street and to my surprise I heard the warning sound and seen the light flash that a car door was open. That was when I turned to see my son opening the door. Highly recommend a recall on this to have the locks installed. Was completely shocked that this was not included but yet it's shown as a family style car.”
