Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had driven my Yukon for roughly a year when the passenger side rear glass hinge broke. It caused a leak and I have been in fear of the back glass coming loose or breaking during driving. My research has LED me to several stories of the same problem leaving glass on roads, carwashes, and even on following vehicles, causing damage. Gm expects me to pay over $1000 to replace the glass. A redesigned glass which leads me to believe they know of the problem and refuse to help fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10450232, filed 2012-03, 60,000 miles“Dt: in this vehicle the console is wider and the seats are narrower. The console is in the consumer's arm area space when making a hard right turn and for any reason, the consumer would hit the console or the arm rest. Noticed this early on. Talked to Gmc, they took the information and said that the engineers will contact consumer . The consumer stated no one has contacted.”
NHTSA complaint #10130579, filed 2005-10, 850 miles“The spare tire is stored under vehicle and lowered from beneath the vehicle by a cranking a cable. It also has a secondary latch to keep it from falling on road if that cable should fail. The problem is that the latch is designed very poorly and quite susceptible to rusting from road salt. This prevents it from releasing the spare tire from the vehicle. The reason this is a safety issue is that the spare tire is impossible to use without prior knowledge on exactly how to release a frozen safety latch. It is very unlikely anyone would be able to do so while stranded roadside with a flat tire. …”
