Example complaints

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

“Purchased new and own a 2007 chevy suburban. We have cut our hands several times opening the driver side door when pulling the inside door handle inward. This has been caused by the peeling fake chrome plastic that covers the inside handle. This peeling fake chrome creates a sharp edge as it peels off that is directly positioned to rub across one's fingers as you pull the door handle in toward you to open the door.”
