Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rear window hinges failed on one side of the vehicle requiring both hinges that holds the rear window glass in place to be replaced. Dealer was able to repair hinges but the rear window is now unable to be opened due to latch being damaged by hinges and dealer informed me that they could not fix the latch that was attached to the rear window. They referred me to a glass repair shop to do the repair.”
