Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“One incident where the door malfunctioned in a position where the door came completely off three of the latches and the door was only being held on by the non-electronic latch, the door fell into my arms and I had to hold the door up and manually place it into position so I could get it to close. Had I not caught the door, it would have fallen to the ground. It would have been damaged. It could have been possible that the door fell out onto me, causing injury. …”
NHTSA complaint #10428156, filed 2011-10“2006 Gmc xuv has a tailgate problem with not opening with electric opener. When this happens there is no emergency way to open the tailgate since the latches only operate with electricity (switches). Weather is the main fault poor engineering lets parts get wet inside the door frame and destroys the latches and electronics stored inside.”
