Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My motor mounts, tie rods, and cv boots went bad. The motor mounts and tie rods I feel went out way to soon for any car. This car was given tlc before I had it b/c it was my grandma's. My passenger side door locks are working improperly. They are extremely hard to open with fingers. You have to pull the door handle from the inside usually to get it.”
NHTSA complaint #703778, filed 1999-02“Latch for hatchback pops open. Liftgate light is constantly on when hatch is closed, and if it's opened light stays on. Dealer disconnected cable. Out of 3 replaced latches none of them worked correctlly. Manufacturre doesn't make the part anymore, so latch does not work the same as the original model for vehicle.”
