Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Abs: at first, the light was on all the time. A diagnostic test was run, and a sensor was replaced (all that was over $400). Now the light comes on (and stays on) at 49 MPH. Another diagnostic test will have to be performed by the dealer to find out what's wrong. As for the window: one day I was driving with the window halfway down. When I tried to roll it back up, it wouldn't go. It just stayed there, then started sliding down. A repair shop fixed it.”
NHTSA complaint #754992, filed 2001-11“In august,1998 the front passenger side window mechanism failed and had to be replaced and in november the driver side front window failed the same way. Also the back left window won't go down all the way and is probably ready to go too. The parts for each replacement are over $300.00. It seems faulty to me since the car is always parked in the garage when not in use and has very low mileage.”
NHTSA complaint #700979, filed 1998-11“Driver's side power window fell down into door while operating the window while driving. Window would not stay up. Dealer replaced power window regulator. On 08/16/99 passanger side window made loud poping noise and window fell into door and does not work.”
NHTSA complaint #710124, filed 1999-08“The anti-freeze ate the heater core up, causing the anti-freeze to spill out and fumes to seap into the passenger's compartment. The dealer has been contacted.”
NHTSA complaint #855308, filed 2000-02“Power lock on right rear door stopped working. Molding came off on right rear window. Heater knob and radio volume knob broke off in 10 degree f. Weather.”
