Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After owning the car for just a few months, bought new, I noticed that the seat belt warning light would come on/off as it pleased. Sometimes with being belted in, it would show up, and othertimes it would be off. The repair estimate for this job at the dealership was over $300.00, saying they would have to replace the entire seatbelt. A bit off to me.”
NHTSA complaint #10086233, filed 2004-08, 2,000 miles“At 15k miles, my rear passenger window motor quit working. At 35k miles, my driver indoor plastic door handle completely broke off with no warning whatsoever. At 75k miles, my driver window motor quit working (I now have no way of opening my door from the inside). And at 85k, my passenger front door handle started to crack. The dealer wants to charge almost $40 a piece for the handles, each, and then 140.00 each to install. This is a little piece of plastic, and should not be so much. The motors are roughly $100 each to replace, plus the labor. …”
NHTSA complaint #10130103, filed 2005-07, 25,000 miles“Dt: the contact stated the driver's side front seat belt will not latch. The service dealer referred the contact to Chevrolet consumer hotline; they informed him that the vehicle needed to have a diagnostic test ran before the service manager would be authorized to perform the work on the vehicle. There was no specific seating position that kept the seat belt from latching.”
