Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Found that the condenser weld on the A/C unit is faulty in my 2001 chevy Venture van. I know the condensers are on national backorder which leads me to believe the failure is common. Would this not be a problem if I were working under the vehicle and the weld failed resulting in the displacement of oxygen in the work environment. I would suggest a recall to fix the suspect welds.”
NHTSA complaint #10068444, filed 2004-05, 80,010 miles“While my vehicle was parked and turned off, my 4 year old knocked it out of gear, come to find out that it goes from the parked status to the 1st gear without having to have key in or push the brake petal to take it out of gear it is free flowing, and very dangerous. I was very fortunately loading some groceries when it happened and with the assistance of a very nice person walking by, were able to get it back into park and no injuries accrued, I dread to think of what would have happened if one of my two young children would have been in my position, what the outcome could have been.”
NHTSA complaint #10016141, filed 2003-04, 43,000 miles“Air conditioning condenser leaking. Dealer wants $1000 to repair. This is a known defect on this condenser, bad welds, yet GM takes no fault even though tens of thousands of these have failed. With asthma, I need A/C and this vehicle is no safe without it.”
