Example complaints

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

“While driving my 2006 Honda Pilot I heard a loud thud in the back seat area of my vehicle. When I looked back I noticed that my left rear window was missing. It appears the window regulator snapped allowing the glass to fall inside the door area. I was on the way to pickup my 2.5 year old son and had to pull over and purchase plastic and tape to make repairs in order to get vehicle home. I cannot drive the vehicle and park it as a criminal can now easily access my vehicle by simply reaching inside. …”

NHTSA complaint #10640979, filed 2014-10, 140,200 miles

“Right rear regulator let the window drop without warning while driving. Mileage 65300 / may, 2011. Left rear window regulator let the window drop without warning while driving. Mileage 88k / march, 2014. Neither rear window had been operated more than a few times a year. The sudden impact of the window dropping and sudden wind noise, even at low speed is very startling. Both window regulators failing in this manner strike me as being a design defect.”
