Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Help my car is falling apart and the dealer wants huge sums to fix these problems some of which I believe are defects. $500 for a defroster switch-ouch, power locks failed, alternator failed, consumes 1 qt of oil every 800 miles, stalls at start in am. Can I get help from GM on these items ? Your help is appreciated”
NHTSA complaint #714074, filed 1999-10“Latch on electric sliding door releases when vehicle standing discharging battery. Company recalling 1997 on for this defect. It is safety hazard if it should occur running. In emergency car cannot be relied on. I believe my vehicle is not safe without this correction.”
NHTSA complaint #746206, filed 2001-05“I don't have a complaint about a specific make or model...I have an overall complaint about how thin cars are today and how much they are not protecting the occupants. My brother was killed 2 weeks ago after hydroplaning at about 35 MPH. I know heavier vehicles use more gas but aren't lives worth it? I know that as a nation we have become very money conscious and gas mileage is a biggie but everyone who has had someone killed in a senseless accident might feel differently afterward. …”
NHTSA complaint #10025395, filed 2003-07“The contact owns a 1995 Chevrolet Lumina. While driving approximately 10 MPH, the contact heard a loud banging noise underneath the vehicle. Upon further inspection, she noticed that the frame of the vehicle was fractured, which caused it to separate from the vehicle. The vehicle was pushed to her place of residence. The contact is in the process of having the vehicle inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 150,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10263028, filed 2009-03, 150,000 miles“My windshield wipers keep shorting out. Some times they work and sometimes they don't. The bracket to hold the front seat broke and had to be replaced. The handles on the passenger door broke and needed to be replaced and now the sliding door is doing the same. The brake light keeps coming on and the antilock brakes make a grinding noise when applied.”
