Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving on the highway, the door locks will unlock by themselves. Sometimes all of the doors unlock, sometimes just one or two doors. We have heard the sound of unlocking doors several times in the past as we drove. On august 22, we heard the unlocking sound, and then observed the doors unlocking. After relocking the doors, the incident happened several more times. This can be very dangerous!”
NHTSA complaint #11251982, filed 2019-08, 106,000 miles“Front drive applique came loose from the car, while driving on a highway. The adhesive wore out and created an issue with expanded blind spot and part potentially falling off the vehicle. I first taped it back and then glued it temporarily. When I took my vehicle in for service, the dealer noted that all panels were faulty and needed to be replace. I notified chevy about this issue, as it appears to be a manufacturing defect.”
