Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The driver's power window will not raise immediately after it has been fully retracted (such as at a drive-in window, or when the auto feature fully retracts it before I can stop it). It will eventually raise after a few minutes of inoperation; sometimes only partially at a time. If I have intentionally had the window down for an extended period of time, there is no problem - yet. This only occurs when the window is fully retracted, and regardless of weather conditions.”

NHTSA complaint #10619175, filed 2014-08, 150,000 miles
