Example complaints

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

“When the top right hinge broke away from the glass on the rear door of my 2003 Yukon Denali (~50,000 mi.), and after discussing it with my dealer, I thought it was an isolated case. The resulting twisting of the misaligned window has caused the left hinge bond to partially crack and separate as well. My vehicle is garaged 90+% of the time and I seldom used the rear window. Currently, the only thing holding this window to the vehicle is the door lock and one partial (left) hinge. It is a disaster waiting to happen. …”

NHTSA complaint #10423163, filed 2011-09, 50,000 miles

“Wiper blades do not clear drivers side of windshield at speeds greater than 55 MPH. This makes it difficult to drive during rain day or night - especially at night when the water film disperses the light and makes it difficult to see.”
