Example complaints

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

“The car was parked, all of a sudden we heard a boom and the rear window had exploded outward and shattered, with the latch still attached to the rear tailgate. The hydraulic arms were up and extended, indicating the window had possibly tried to open, but didn't unlatch, and then shattered. Nobody was inside the vehicle or had the keys on them, so the rear tailgate was not activated in either way.”

NHTSA complaint #11218464, filed 2019-06, 10,500 miles

“The contact owns a 2018 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the A/C unit failed to function properly. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the A/C coolant line was leaking and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired under warranty. The contact was concerned that the failure could cause medical health risks during high weather temperatures. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.”
