Example complaints

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

“The rear defrost wires kept falling off of the window. I had them soldered back on several times until I finally had to replace the entire glass, because there wasn't enough material to be able to re-solder it. Within a couple of weeks of replacing the glass, one of the wires fell off. I had it fixed. Then a few weeks later the other one fell off. In total over the next year I had both wires re-soldered at least twice each, until just last week when I had to replace the glass again! I was told that this is a bad design by GM and that they tend to fall off because they get too hot when in use. …”
