Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Noticed a crack on dashboard next to the upper left corner of the passenger side airbag. A few weeks later noticed another crack in the dashboard next to the lower left corner of the passenger side airbag. My concern that if the airbag deploys it could be punctured by the sharp edges of one of these cracks. Would like it replaced at no cost to me due to faulty design.”
NHTSA complaint #10577761, filed 2014-04, 40,000 miles“The dash is cracked on the passenger side next to the top left corner next to the passenger air bag panel. My fear is if this air bag is deployed shards of plastic will become shrapnel and injure my front seat passenger.”
NHTSA complaint #10643496, filed 2014-10, 58,000 miles“I have a 2010 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck and after returning from lunch noticed the spare tire hanging loosely on the underside of the truck bed. After trying to use the jack handle to tighten it back up which failed I lowered the tire via the jack handle and proceeded to view the hoist. The hoist is held up by a single bolt to the undercarriage. I removed the bolt and found that the metal surrounding the bolt had several stress cracks and 2 new fractures. I removed the unit and have it currently. …”
NHTSA complaint #10547090, filed 2013-10, 116,000 miles“Takata recall . The truck has a big crack in dash above instrument panel. Truck has 35500 miles on it and is always stored in climate controlled shop. It happened while being stored inside shop. Never sets out in the sun and has never had armorall protectant on it”
NHTSA complaint #10836224, filed 2016-02, 34,000 miles“Spare tire hoist bracket broke and spare tire was swinging loosely under rear of truck. Further investigation revealed several stress cracks in bracket surrounding the bolt hole. If tire bracket would have broke off tire would drop to pavement and become a road hazard. Sources at dealer indicated they had no bulletins on this item but knew of some people who had lost their spare tires. I still have the parts.”
