Example complaints

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

“The rear hatch of our denali works itself open. We shut it sufficiently hard, and in time, driving down the road, the warning lights overhead and on the dash board come on telling us that the rear hatch is open. We have to stop to open and reshut it. This does not happen every time but has been consistent since we purchased it.”

NHTSA complaint #10169245, filed 2006-09, 4,161 miles

“The contact owns a 2004 Gmc envoy. The contact stated that both rear doors failed to close properly and erroneously opened while the contact was traveling various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the latches needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.”
