Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The right hinge of the rear lift glass on my 2003 Gmc yukon failed causing a dangerous condition whereby the rear glass could blow out, or otherwise fall off the car while driving. The dealer told me the entire rear lift glass module must be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10359978, filed 2010-10, 128,000 miles“The heater did not work. I did not realize that until in the highway. The outside temperature was 29 degrees (f). I would not have been able to defrost the windshield if it were needed (which could impair driving). I called on-star to diagnose the problem while I was driving and they determined there were problems in the system and suggest me to see the dealer. Later on in the same day, the heater worked (only on the driver''s side) after the car parked twice.”
