Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car was in motion on a city street about 40 MPH going straight and all of a sudden the driver side door became unlatched and partially opened. A noise on the dash sounded and stated the drivers door was ajar, and the lights on the inside of the door turned red. It seemed to be partially latched still since it would not open all the way, but I had to use the inside door handle to open the door and then close it all the way again. I had already traveled about 1 mile from my home when the door partially opened, and there were no dash or warning signs it was open when I left. …”
