Example complaints

“On june 1, 1999 I noticed the drivers side door bolts on the top hinge beginning to rust through the body of the car. In the next couple of weeks, through normal use of the door, the top hinge completely separated from the body of the car. This resulted in the door being supported solely by the lower hinge, making it near impossible to use. I contacted 2 different chevrolet dealers as well as chevrolet's 800 number for special concerns. All attempts to report the problem ended with negative results. It is my belief that this is a design defect and should be investigated. …”
NHTSA complaint #708159, filed 1999-07“The pillar attached to the door hinge is disintegrating and the door has come apart from the sheet metal on the upper portion of the driver's side around the hinge area, the pillar had a hole through it causing the door to come apart from the sheet metal supporting the door hinge on the upper portion of the drivers seat.
