Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car door handle did not extrude itself despite being unlocked. A child was in the car, in the middle of the day, and I was unable to open the door to retrieve the child. If my wife was not in the car to open it from the inside, we could have had a fatal situation on our hands. There have been numerous situations where the car would also fail to unlock randomly.”
NHTSA complaint #11586192, filed 2024-04“Passenger rear door handle became stuck and I was unable to get my kid out of the back seat without going through the driver's side rear door and getting them out. This has been an issue since. The door handle is stuck in the out position at all times and is not functional. I am now unable to use the passenger rear door.”
NHTSA complaint #11627118, filed 2024-11“1) BODY: My passenger was unable to open the door from the inside and I was unable to open the door from the outside. I had to unlock and lock the car with the key fob and I was able to open the door from the outside. 2) LIGHTING: Rear reading lights turn on randomly. 3) SEATS: When passengers are in the vehicle, the alert pops up saying the seatbelts aren't engaged even though they are.”
NHTSA complaint #11609834, filed 2024-08“I parked my car and was unable to open the door to get out. Tried few different way but door would not open. Complained to manufacturer, they claim they could not duplicate the problem, and did a software update. I have a video of the incident, however, I was unable to upload it. I can e mail it to you”
NHTSA complaint #11571482, filed 2024-02“Door handle failed and locked me inside of the car on August 27. I had to climb to passengers seat in order to get out of car.
