Example complaints

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

“I went to grab my door handle with 2 fingers and the handle just snapped preventing me from exiting my vehicle. In the event of an emergency I fear that I am unable to exit my vehicle due to this faulty handle that has been manufactured for this vehicle. This is just one of many issues this vehicle has in addition to the 7 or 8 recalls for issues that have already been acknowledged. This whole vehicle should be recalled! Almost every plastic part on this vehicle has broken off, cracked, or malfunctioned.”
