Example complaints

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

“My VOLT rear tail light is full of water. Dealer told me nothing they can do. This car has never been hit, bumped, or even been into a car wash. Feel this is a manufacturing defect and I cannot get anyone to listen to me. I see a lot of people on line having the same problem.”
