Example complaints

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

“Early this summer the front passenger door open/lock mechanism broke. The door can not be locked. It can be opened from inside but with more force than usual. A few months later the very same problem occurred wth the driver side, front, mechanism. This seems to be a design flaw and not a coincidence.”

NHTSA complaint #11138803, filed 2018-10, 90,000 miles

“The passenger side door could not be opened from the inside. Only the outside door handle could open it successfully. The dealer has ordered parts for a repair. He indicated that there is no recall on this issue, although I recall a notification about door problems. Several years ago the left driver's side door had the same problem and required a dealer fix. This apparent defect in door design poses a potentially serious safety risk if an occupant needs to exit the vehicle in an emergency. …”
