Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The following referenced items have been in constant or recent trouble status: The two-sliding doors repeatedly have resisted closing for at least a year or more. They are eventually forced to close by manipulation of the track system (i.e. closing mechanism).
