Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The chrome door handles in the SUV are pealing and the material will cut your hand. Both my wife and I have received cuts from these handles. From reading on line it appears that this a problem with a lot of the GM suvs'. I read that you started looking into this but I can't find where there was any conclusion. The dealer is happy to replace these if I am willing to pay for it, but will no guarantee that the new ones won't have the same problem.”
