Example complaints

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

“Lock opens even after locking the door. These are not power locks, after locking the door from inside, if you pull the handle, the door unlocks by itself by pulling the handle and opens the door. This is very dangerous as my jeans got stuck in the handle opened the door accidentally (passenger) but we were going slow, so no injuries.”
