Example complaints

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

“Inside door handle on rear right side broke off, and door cannot be opened. Drivers side cracked where the outer edge is. The door has to be opened from the outside. Other two handles have a crack that gets bigger when door is opened, dealer contacted, and cannot duplicate the problem. Both the driver side door and the rear left door have flown open while driving.”

NHTSA complaint #830146, filed 1998-11

“The vehicle was struck on the driver's side and partially in the front of the car and the hood was split and the airbags did not deploy. The other vehicle was going 30-40 MPH.”

NHTSA complaint #806570, filed 1996-12

“Right rear trailing arm bolt had been broken for quite some time. Bolt is rusted and pitted, 3 mechanics, a welder, and a tool maker all concur that it must have been broken for well over a year. The bolt is the one that connects the trailing arm to the frame. It had been broken for long enough to pull through the frame tearing it. Bolt had been working free for that time. Had it not been for a noise previous to the bolt coming free and the slow speed the whole rear end would have probably come apart resulting in (at interstate speed) injury and most probably a fatality.”

NHTSA complaint #540181, filed 1998-08
