Example complaints

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

“Plastic cover over driver door that controls the windows cracked and broke off causing the buttons to drop inside the door cavity. Went to dealer to get replacement part, told I had to order entire door cover as replacement for approx $800. Now the driver door will not close and latch shut. Attempted to move plastic part that would lock onto metal door frame, no luck. Unable to drive car if door will not close.”
