Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I would just like to start out by saying I enjoy GM vehicles. They are all I drive, but sometimes they have little problems. Like my 2000 Gmc Jimmy sls. The recline handle on the drivers and passengers seat keep falling off and stripping the bear metal. I never pull on them so they dont get pulled on. I would just like to know how you intend to fix the problem and when. Now there is nothing else wrong with the SUV but minor things due to age. I would just like to know how you intend to fix the problem. Thank you for your time. Michael diemert”

“Head lights and air conditioner blower come on when motor was not running. Took vehicle to dealer twice, dealer couldn't find cause. Also, driver's, passenger's, and backseat squeaked/air conditioner had mildew in evaporator case, and warpped brake rotors. Consumer trying to return vehicle to Gmc.”

NHTSA complaint #878098, filed 2001-01

“The front seat back recliner handle has broken for the second time. Upon review of the part it would appear that it has failed under a torsion load. Upon examination of the part, the bos that protrudes from the seat and that the recliner handle attaches to is the item that failed. The boss itself appears to be made from powder metal. The dealership service department when contact confirmed that the part is made out of powder metal. A slot is cut directly through the center of this boss as to accept the handle screw. The handle screw slot probably weakens the boss even further. …”
