Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driver door ajar: driver information always shows that the door is not close. Because it is an electrical or equipment malfunction it is not covered by the bumper to bumper warranty anymore. Problem developed a few weeks ago. My odometer was 38500 miles. The dome lights has to be turned off manually. No entry lights because due to the malfunction of the door latch the interior lights have to be off. It creates a safety issue at night time. Why do I have you pay to have it fixed ?”
NHTSA complaint #10264853, filed 2009-04, 38,500 miles“General motors pickup hood mounted latch fatigue. I have noticed complete separation and severe wear in the welded engine compartment hood latch that could result in the hood coming up at high speed and either blinding the driver or the hood separating from the vehicle upon failure of the hood latch.”
