Example complaints

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

“When you park the car, shutoff engine, pull up the short unlock stick, then pull the open button to open the door. That's normal procedure. But if you are in hurry, pull the door open button first and forget pull the unlock stick, you cannot open door anymore, you cannot go back and pull up the unlock stick to unlock door anymore. It will keep locking the door back when you pull up the unlock stick. You have to fight for 15 min to open the door. Dangerous if in the emergency.”
