Example complaints

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

“While driving down GA 140 near Waleska, GA, I hit a bump in the highway and the hood popped open. It stopped at first catch and I was able to stop before hood came all the way up. Was able to open hood completely and relatch successfully. No further incident's but it was very stressful to get the vehicle stopped and correct the problem before the hood opened beyond the first latch and would have come up and stopped my view of the highway which had a lot of traffic. This is only incident I have had with hood popping open by itself just by hitting a bump in the road.”

“The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that upon parking the vehicle after an extended road trip, the contact noticed that the driver’s side and passenger’s side rear doors window bars and C-pillar trims had detached. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V407000 (Structure). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure was confirmed but the contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered because the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.”

NHTSA complaint #11772733, filed 2026-10, 82,000 miles

“Emergency escape issue Like many modern cars the aviator was designed with electric opening doors. Of the four doors, only the front driver side door has a manual override in case of emergency. That means if a major accident was to occur on that ONE door and disable the vehicle the other 3 doors do not have a way to exit. Why would the nhtsa allow a vehicle on a road that at a minimum doesn't have a override for left side and right side or more than one door?”
