Example complaints

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

“Throttle sticks and does not fully return to idle. Must ride the brakes very hard to stop properly. Hove not crashed, but have had near misses. Dealer addressed once while under warranty, but will not address repeated problems, now that warranty has expired, without charging $80 diagnostic fee + repairs. Second issue.... Side door fails to latch properly at the top. I am afraid it may fly open in a crash. Dealer has worked on it 5 times and it still does not close properly. Refuses to warrant it now.”

NHTSA complaint #10232665, filed 2008-06, 1,500 miles

“Renzenberger, inc van number 4451 has had these problems for at least one month. My coworkers supervisor and I have complained multiple times to our supervisor but he said to just deal with it because he has no other vans available. To make a long story short, this van is a rolling safety hazard.”
